Start spreading facts, not fear!

World Rabies Day 2021 is almost here! In less than a month, we will be celebrating the 15th World Rabies Day on September 28.

With the theme “Rabies: Facts, not Fear”, everyone is invited to join the celebration by promoting facts about rabies and at the same time, dispelling any myths and misconceptions about this fatal disease. The proliferation of fake news hampers rabies elimination efforts in our communities. Raising awareness about rabies facts is the only way to beat fake news.

Fake news also leads to misplaced fear about rabies. Vaccine hesitancy and misconceptions about vaccination are still prevalent and should be dismissed. This WRD, let us highlight the benefits of vaccinating animals against rabies and the importance of receiving post-exposure prophylaxis for people possibly exposed to rabies. Armed with accurate rabies facts, we can alleviate the fears in our communities.
