The Municipal Veterinary Officer in Aowin, Selorm Debrah, has appealed to philanthropists and benevolent organizations to assist or sponsor the mass dog immunization campaign to help eradicate the rabies disease by the year 2030.
He said "though the disease is fatal, it is also 100 per cent preventable.
Once you vaccinate; people would be safe when bitten, the animal vaccine is always and almost available at the cheapest cost." Selorm Debrah made the appeal at the Enchi College of Education when the Veterinary Service Department (VSD) organized a talk on rabies and its effects on human health for the students.
The programme formed part of activities to celebrate the World Rabies Day, which falls on September 28 every year. "Breaking Rabies Boundaries", was the theme for this year.
