Rabies - our time to act is now

Rabies is an infectious viral disease that is almost always fatal once clinical symptoms appear.

In most cases, the disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of a rabid dog, but infection can also spread through scratches or via saliva.

Rabies kills one person every 9 minutes and children aged 5–14 years are frequent victims.

Yet rabies is 100% vaccine preventable. Vaccinating dogs is the most cost-effective way to prevent rabies in people.
Education about dog behaviour, immediate care measures after a bite, responsible dog ownership and bite prevention are essential components of rabies elimination.

WHO and partners aim to achieve zero human rabies deaths by
2030.

The time to act is now.

Who’s watching this in 2020 corona time

If you get dog bite or cat scratch...Wash the bite wound with soap and water immediately for about 20 mins. Rush to hospital in case bleeding is present. It's category 3 and definitely needs vaccination. Seek medical help from a qualified doctor. Takecare.

There was water in a bucket. The dog ate the water for a while and then it was cooked with the water. Is there a possibility of getting rabies after eating the cooked food?
