World Rabies Day is an annual observance held on 28 September to raise awareness about rabies and its prevention. The day was first celebrated in 2007 and is coordinated by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control.
Rabies is a deadly viral disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans through bites or scratches. The virus attacks the nervous system and can cause death if not treated. There is no cure for rabies once symptoms appear, but it is preventable. The best way to prevent rabies is to get vaccinated against the disease. Vaccination is also important for pets, as they can transmit the virus to humans.
World Rabies Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about
rabies and its prevention. It is also a day to call for action to eliminate
rabies as a public health threat.
