Study in The Lancet Suggests 70% Dog Vaccination Could Eradicate Rabies in Keralam

A new study published in The Lancet Regional Health - Southeast Asia indicates that achieving 70% vaccination coverage for both owned and free-roaming dogs, combined with improved post-bite treatment, could eliminate human rabies deaths in Keralam, India, within three years. The research suggests this approach is significantly more effective and cost-efficient than routine rabies vaccinations for children.
