Remember to vaccinate for rabies

[Catherine]

England has worked hard to protect itself from rabies. You are successful because you never let your guard down. 
Rabies is a serious problem in many parts of the world.  There is no treatment. The only solution is vaccination. 
In areas with many stray dogs rabies is still killing people. They need to be doing mass vaccinations of strays. Here we are putting out "baits" with the vaccine in them. The raccoons eat the bait and they are vaccinated. 

I think there needs to be a global push against rabies. If we vaccinated enough people and animals we could break transmission. 
Surely eradicating this disease should be high priority. This is a disease that scares people and rightly so. 

You live in a rabies free area. If you were bitten by a wild animal you would not experience the fear that I would have over the possibility of rabies. I was bitten once and waiting for the test results was frightening. I think it was worse than waiting for cancer results. Cancer can sometimes be cured.
