Dogs Do Not Have Rabies When They Are Born. Vaccin..
Tweet |
Dogs do not have rabies when they are born. Vaccinate dogs at 3 months of age and keep vaccinations up to date thereafter to protect them against rabies. 💉
Vaccinated dogs protect the communities in which they live from the threat of rabies, and with sustained vaccinations over multiple years, the disease can be eliminated. There are examples where this has been achieved, even in places where it was once thought too difficult. (See our previous post related to #WorldRabiesDay).
This is why Soi Dog’s Catch I Neuter I Vaccinate I Return (CNVR) programme is important in protecting both human and dogs.
People with dogs or cats have a responsibility to ensure that those animals are vaccinated against rabies and that the vaccinations are kept up to date. This is the best way to prevent rabies in your family and community and ultimately eliminate the disease once and for all.
🔸
Rabies is currently responsible for about 60,000 agonising human deaths per year, of which 40% are children – mainly those living in poor rural communities in Africa and Asia farthest from medical and veterinary services. In addition, millions of dogs (and other animals) suffer and die due to both the disease and indiscriminate culling prompted by fear of the disease.😭
These deaths are, however, all unnecessary as rabies is a preventable disease, which means that we have safe and effective vaccines to protect people and animals from it.
Rabies elimination plans must include human and animal government agencies, veterinary and human health professionals, educators, scientists and community groups. #OneHealth
But anyone can play a role in preventing rabies, whether they own a dog or cat or not. Start by raising awareness about rabies with family, friends and your community. Use your voice on social media to educate others by sharing resources and facts about rabies.
Many people may still ask: “Is rabies still a problem?” Help them realise that it still is – in more than 150 countries around the world!
