The most extensive vaccination campaign against canine rabies is underway in Cambodia.
“We’re undertaking our largest and most ambitious vaccination drive yet – to vaccinate 100,000 dogs in ten working days. Together, we’re working towards our shared goal of eliminating human rabies deaths by 2030. Let’s make a difference and protect the lives of both people and dogs in Cambodia,” says founder and CEO of Mission Rabies, Dr. Luke Gamble.
Cambodia has one of the highest death rates per capita of any country in the world due to rabies disease – approximately 600,000 people in the country are bitten by dogs every year. Mission Rabies has a goal of vaccinating at least 70 percent of the canine population in Cambodia to eliminate the disease in dogs and ultimately prevent human deaths.
