The department's Quinton Doidge says vaccination clinics are being held along the KZN coast Monday until 19 March.
"We try to do rabies campaigns throughout the province on a yearly basis, but Covid affected us in 2020. So we are getting cracking again now before it spreads too much.
"The Department of Agriculture, we actually do mobile vaccination. We've got public address systems in our vehicles and we drive along and we announce."
