Rabies

Rabies is a deadly virus that is most often spread by the bite of a rabid animal. Each year around the world, rabies results in more than 59,000 deaths – approximately one death every 9 minutes. Most deaths are reported from Africa and Asia with almost 50% of the victims being children under the age of 15. Safe and effective vaccines are available to reduce the impact of human and animal rabies and help prevent the disease in animals. Every year, an estimated 40,000 people in the United States receive a series of shots known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) due to potential exposure to rabies. In addition, the US public health cost associated with rabies is more than $300 million a year. Dog vaccination is one important strategy to prevent rabies in dogs in the U.S. and abroad.
