Advancing Rabies Control Through Mass Dog Vaccination
In Sarawak, a large-scale dog vaccination campaign is
underway to combat dog-mediated rabies — a critical step toward protecting both animal and human health.
Rabitecwas deployed in Kuching, Sarawak as part of a coordinated, multi-stakeholder effort bringing together government, veterinary department, NGOs, and international partners.
Led by the Department of Veterinary Services, Sarawak SPCA, and SIDC Sarawak, in collaboration with Mission Rabies, the campaign reflects the power of partnership in tackling complex public health challenges.
More than 25 field teams mobilized thousands of vaccine doses making strong progress toward the 70% vaccination coverage needed to interrupt rabies transmission.
This initiative demonstrates how science, innovation, and collaboration can translate into meaningful, on-the-ground impact.
Rabies is preventable
By reaching every dog, we move closer to a world free of rabies.
