World Rabies Day is held every year on September 28. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of LOUIS PASTEUR – THE FIRST PERSON TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE A VACCINE AGAINST RABIES.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has raised many doubts and misconceptions about VACCINATION in general. For RABIES, this is nothing new, as fears and misconceptions about the disease dates back hundreds of years.
FAKE NEWS will negatively affect the RABIES elimination efforts. FACTS are the only way to beat fake news, so help to SHARE ACCURATE FACTS about rabies control.
We need to dispel the myths about VACCINE HESITANCY and the MISCONCEPTIONS.
Rabies is a Vaccine-preventable Viral Disease. Dogs are the source of the vast majority of human rabies transmission and deaths.
Calling for effective Mass Dog Vaccination, instead of ineffective Dog Culling.
Vaccinate your pet. Act now !
Let us use facts to raise awareness and educate others about rabies – a 99% FATAL, yet 100% PREVENTABLE DISEASE.
Let us work together to Spread FACTS, and not FEAR, this World Rabies Day !
Let's achieve our goal of “Zero Human Rabies Deaths by 2030.”
