Why is it important to vaccinate our dogs? 💉

Here's how it works: Dogs get rabies from other dogs. The infection kills them, but before they die, they often bite another dog or other animals and pass on the virus. Sometimes they bite people too and pass on the disease to them.

The good thing is that vaccinated dogs are protected. They can’t get rabies and so cannot pass on the rabies virus to other dogs, animals, or people. This is why it is so important to vaccinate dogs against rabies.

It is quite simple. When more dogs get vaccinated, fewer dogs can spread rabies to people. So, vaccinating dogs saves human lives. This is why your family’s dogs should be vaccinated and why you should tell other people to vaccinate their dogs.

Puppies should get vaccinated as soon as possible. Dogs also need regular rabies shots to stay safe. Your local veterinary or health worker can tell you more about this.

Remember, rabies is very dangerous, but we can stop it by vaccinating all dogs.

Please follow the steps to vaccinate dogs in your community.
