⚠️Rabies Advisement ⚠️

October 8, 2026

A Raccoon recently submitted for testing has been found to be Positive for Rabies. The Raccoon was from Hainesport, in the area of Marne Highway and the Rancocas Creek Bridge.

The Burlington County Health Department is concerned that humans, as well as other wild and stray animals, may have come into contact with this raccoon. The Health Department is working to identify individuals who have been exposed to the raccoon.

The Burlington County Health Department is providing this information for your awareness and is urging residents to remain vigilant and take appropriate precautions to protect themselves, their families, and their pets.
1. If you have been scratched or bitten by wildlife animals or stray cats or dogs from this area in the last month, please contact the Burlington County Health Department.
2. Check the status of your pets’ rabies vaccine. Have your pet receive a rabies booster if it spends time outdoors, outside of your supervision and has not received its latest rabies shot within the last 3 months.
3. Avoid all wild animals – especially bats, skunks, foxes, cats and raccoons.

Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the brain.

The rabies virus lives in the saliva (spit) of infected animals and is spread from a bite or when saliva from an infected animal touches broken skin, open wounds or the lining of the mouth, nose, or eyes. Rabies in certain animals, especially wildlife, is common in New Jersey.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the health department at 609-265-5533.
