World Rabies Day is a global observance that aims to raise awareness about rabies and its prevention. It seeks to unite relevant organizations and individuals in spreading knowledge on how to control and eradicate this disease. Rabies, a fatal but preventable viral disease, primarily affects mammals, including humans, and is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. Awareness about vaccination, animal control, and responsible pet ownership are crucial aspects of preventing the disease. In India, rabies remains a significant public health concern, with the country accounting for over 35% of the global human rabies deaths annually. Initiated in 2007 by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, World Rabies Day gains particular importance for India as it confronts this challenge. The burden of rabies is high, particularly in rural areas, where the majority of the affected population lives. Stray dogs are a primary source of transmission, hence controlling their population and immunization are crucial factors in disease prevention. To commemorate World Rabies Day in India, various initiatives take place such as free vaccination camps for pets, seminars on rabies awareness, and distribution of educational materials. State and local governments, NGOs, and animal welfare organizations collaborate in these efforts to provide essential services and spread the message of rabies prevention. Additionally, school children are educated on responsible pet ownership and bite prevention. World Rabies Day is observed annually on September 28th, ensuring a consistent focus on this critical public health issue in India. Top Tweets for World Rabies Day -Updated
