Lancet report: Dog vaccinations key to ending rabies in India
According to a recent study published in The Lancet, widespread vaccination of dogs has the potential to significantly lower rabies-related fatalities across India. Data gathered from Kerala indicates that if 70% of the dog population is vaccinated, human deaths from the disease could be nearly eliminated in just three years. The findings also emphasize the importance of prompt medical care after exposure, increased public education, and improved availability of essential rabies treatments.
