Rabies a serious problem

Rabies is a fatal disease and 2 incidents have highlighted its menace .
A 6 years old boy was mauled to death by a number of stray dogs in MP recently while playing outside his home.
A Norwegian woman holidaying in Philippines catches  Rabies from a stray Puppy  and then travels back home in Norway, develops disease there and dies . Norway which was free from Rabies and she came in contact with several people who might have infected too. No one has died of Rabies in Norway for 200 years and efforts to prevent the spread of the disease are now on there. There is also a risk of human to human transmission.
Most people including many Medical ones are rather casual about Rabies ( Dog and other animal bites ) are rather casual about Rabies prevention by appropriate vaccinations . Even our pets are not mandatorily and regularly vaccinated .
India ranks very high in annual rabies death which could be entirely prevented by updated vaccination policies .
Thousands still continue to die from dog bites in India ,sadly ...
If you Care...about yourself and family:  ask your doctor and get your self those shots .... best as pre exposure prophylaxis !! And pets too !!
