What other vaccinations are provided by the government?
Do local government units (LGUs) or government veterinary offices provide free 5-in-1, 3-in-1, or core vaccines? No. In the Philippines, government veterinary offices and LGUs generally provide free anti-rabies vaccination as part of the National Rabies Prevention and Control Program.
At present, core vaccines (such as 3-in-1, 5-in-1, DHPPi, FVRCP/4-in-1 for cats, and similar combination vaccines) are not routinely provided free of charge by government veterinary offices.
These vaccines are typically available only through private veterinary clinics as part of your pet's routine preventive healthcare.
Where can I get my pet's core vaccines?
Please visit a licensed private veterinary clinic near you. Your veterinarian will recommend the appropriate vaccination schedule based on your pet's:
- Age
- Species (dog or cat)
- Medical history
- Previous vaccination history
- Lifestyle and disease risk
Are there free vaccination programs for core vaccines?
Free core vaccination campaigns are not common in the Philippines.
Occasionally, veterinary schools, animal welfare organizations, nonprofit groups, or private sponsors may conduct limited vaccination drives that include core vaccines, but these are special events and should not be expected as part of regular government veterinary services.
What vaccines are commonly provided for free?
Government veterinary offices and LGUs primarily provide:
- Anti-Rabies Vaccine
Availability depends on your city or municipality. Some LGUs schedule annual or periodic rabies vaccination drives.
Can Pawnec tell me where to get a free core vaccine?
At this time, Pawnec does not maintain a directory of free core vaccine providers, because these programs are rare and temporary.
If you're looking for a 5-in-1, 3-in-1, or other core vaccine, we recommend contacting a nearby licensed veterinary clinic to ask about availability and pricing.
