Rabies education programs

Rabies education programs aim to inform communities about the deadliest animal-borne virus, emphasizing its transmission through bites from infected animals like dogs and bats. These programs teach people how to prevent infection by avoiding contact with stray or wild animals, prompt wound cleaning, and seeking immediate medical care after bites. They also promote vaccination for pets and humans in high-risk areas. Through community outreach, schools, and media, these efforts raise awareness about rabies risks and the importance of vaccination and prompt treatment, helping to reduce the disease’s spread and save lives.
