Our event was August 16 in Durham, NC. We later learned about a confirmed rabies investigation involving baby goats from a mobile petting zoo that attended events during that time. We are working with Public Health and sharing this so other potentially affected families can get information. If you, your family, friends, or anyone you know attended an event with Farm Adventures in North Carolina between July 27th and August 28th, please contact your local health department ASAP and ask if you may need rabies post-exposure treatment/shots. #nc#mobilepettingzoo#rabies#ncrabies…
