World Rabies Day: Raising Awareness for Rabies Prevention and Control

 World Rabies Day, observed on September 28 each year, raises awareness about rabies prevention and control. Established in 2007 by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, it highlights the importance of vaccinating animals, particularly dogs, to prevent the transmission of rabies to humans. Rabies, a viral disease that affects the central nervous system, is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. However, it is entirely preventable through vaccination and timely treatment after exposure.
