World Rabies Day is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about the impact of rabies on public health and animal welfare, while prompting action to eliminate this preventable viral disease. The observance emphasizes the importance of rabies prevention and control, including vaccination of pets, responsible pet ownership, and dog bite prevention. This day highlights the significance of collaboration among relevant stakeholders, such as humans, animals, and the environment, to achieve the common goal of "zero human rabies deaths by 2030." The inception of World Rabies Day can be traced back to 2007 when the Global Alliance for Rabies Control and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) co-created the event. While rabies cases in Canada have significantly decreased over the years, it remains an ongoing public health concern with periodic outbreaks among wildlife populations. Rural areas and areas with abundant wildlife, such as raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes, pose a higher risk of exposure to the disease. It is essential for Canadians to remain vigilant and proactive in their efforts to prevent and control the spread of rabies. In observance of World Rabies Day in Canada, various events and programs are organized across the nation, including vaccination clinics, information sessions, and public awareness campaigns. These initiatives aim to educate Canadians on the importance of pet vaccination, responsible pet ownership, and the reporting of potential exposure incidents. Canadians are encouraged to participate in these events and support the global movement to eradicate rabies. World Rabies Day falls on September 28 each year, which is the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur, a pioneer in the development of the first successful rabies vaccine.
