28 September is World Rabies Day, acknowledged annually to raise global awareness about rabies prevention. Rabies is a highly fatal viral disease that affects both humans and warm-blooded animals, but this disease is highly preventable via the use of vaccines.

In Zimbabwe it is required by law to have your dogs vaccinated against Rabies at the age of 12 weeks, again at 12 months, and then annually to ensure they are protected against this disease.

One of the key objectives of the VAWZ Rural Animal Welfare Clinic is to provide rabies vaccines to rural communities around the country, and spread awareness and information on rabies to as many pet owners as possible.

Rabies is a preventable disease even after a bite from a rabid animal has occurred if prompt post-exposure prophylaxis is administered, and you should seek immediate medical attention if bitten or scratched by any potentially rabid animal.

Dog-mediated rabies is a huge problem in Zimbabwe, and responsible vaccination of your pets is the first step in combating this terrible disease. A small effort on your part can go a long way towards saving both human and animal lives!
