“Your local veterinarian plays a key role in controlling rabies.”
World Rabies Day is September 28
Rabies remains a major concern worldwide, killing more than 55,000 people every year. In the United States, one to two people die annually, and there were more than 6,800 reported cases of animal rabies in the U.S. in 2008. In Kenya, what are the statistics?

World Rabies Day, now in its third year, aims to raise awareness about the public health impact of human and animal rabies.
What can YOU do? Vaccinate your animals and keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. Rabies is 100% preventable. According to Dr. Charles Rupprecht, chief of the rabies program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Your local veterinarian plays a key role in controlling rabies.”
