Educating communities on Rabies prevention and control
We should encourage parents, caregivers, and dog owners to:
- Vaccinate dogs early while they are puppies and ensure their vaccines are up to date. This is the most effective way to prevent rabies.
- Teach patients to recognize and report a dog with rabies to avoid them and help stop the spread of the disease.
- Teach patients to be kind and cautious around dogs to ensure they are treated with care and prevent attacks by rabid animals.
- Act quickly if a child is bitten, scratched, or licked by a dog. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes, then go to the nearest healthcare facility for urgent treatment.
