πΎπ WORLD RABIES DAY 2026 ππΎ
βSTRONGER TOGETHERβ
Every September 28, the world comes together to raise awareness and take action against rabies.
This yearβs theme, βSTRONGER TOGETHER,β reminds us that preventing rabies is not the responsibility of one person or one sector alone. It takes all of usβfamilies, pet owners, communities, health workers, veterinarians, and local leadersβto protect lives. π€π
π¦ Rabies is 100% fatal once clinical signs appearβbut it is 100% preventable.
Let us do our part:
πΆπ± Vaccinate our pets regularly against rabies.
π‘ Practice responsible pet ownershipβprovide proper care, supervision, and prevent pets from freely roaming.
π« Avoid approaching unfamiliar or stray animals.
π§Ό Wash bites and scratches immediately with soap and running water for about 15 minutes.
π₯ Seek immediate medical attention and consult the nearest Animal Bite Treatment Center (ABTC) after any possible exposure.
π Complete the recommended post-exposure treatment as advised by healthcare professionals.
π’ Share accurate information and help your family and community recognize how rabies can be prevented.
Remember: Do not wait for symptoms. Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. Prevention and early action can save a life.
π One vaccinated pet.
π One responsible owner.
π One informed family.
π One united community.
Together, we can move closer to our goal of a Rabies-Free Lanao del Sur by 2030. πΎ
πΎ STRONGER TOGETHER.
π‘οΈ PREVENT RABIES. PROTECT LIVES.
π RABIES-FREE BY 2030.
