Today is World Rabies Day
Rabies still kills 59,000 people every year, often children who are bitten by infected dogs. But by vaccinating dogs, we can prevent human transmission. Rabies is a terrible disease but thanks to a united global One Health effort, we could see it disappear in humans in our lifetimes.
In this newsletter, we explore the importance of rabies and how we can achieve zero human deaths by 2030.
