THE FACTS A fatal but preventable disease Rabies is a viral disease that infects the central nervous system and ultimately leads to the death of people and animals. This disease can be prevented and managed. Yet, rabies still kills more than 60,000 people per year. Children are falling victim Four out of every ten people who have been bitten by suspect rabid animals are under the age of 15.

The most startling fact is the lack of rabies awareness. Advocacy and public health systems need to unite to effectively combat this disease, and other zoonotic diseases.

Post-exposure prophylaxis, or PEP, is a series of vaccines provided to people bitten by rabid animals including bats in order to prevent the disease from developing. The use of PEP intradermally is saving costs by approximately 60-80% in comparison to the intramuscular route, and is a more cost-effective option where the disease is highly present.
