World Rabies Day

September 28, 2013

Join us in celebrating World Rabies Day this year!

World Rabies Day is an initiative of GARC. We started it in 2007 to create a global opportunity for people to focus on rabies prevention.

Since then, it has grown year on year, with hundreds of thousands of people participating in events on or around September 28 - and at other times of year too.

The organizers and participants are people like you, whether you live in a rabies endemic area and at risk of the disease or, just care deeply about the devastating impact of the disease and want to do some thing about it.

And we're here to support, advise, celebrate and share.

Together we can end rabies.

Please check out the Global Alliance for Rabies Control website for more information about this important day.

The TN Dept of Health is heading up the program to help control rabies in the wild animal population. From Sept. 29 through Oct. 17, they will be distributing oral rabies vaccines.
