TO MARK Rabies Awareness Month, the Visayas State University will hold a webinar about rabies on Monday, March 29, 2021.

Dubbed as “Rabies: the Good, the Bad and the Uber Ugly”, the webinar is part of the university’s initiative to help the government raise community awareness about the danger of rabies.

“So what is the good thing about rabies that you should know? Unlike Covid19 in humans (until recently) and the African Swine Fever in pigs (which is still currently posing an imminent threat), rabies is highly preventable and controllable with [long-established] anti-rabies vaccination protocol,” VSU said on its website.

“In other words, your animals primarily dogs can be spared from contracting rabies with regular vaccination which can be easily obtained anytime from a veterinary clinic or during regular mass vaccination campaigns spearheaded by the LGU,” it added.

Those interested can watch the webinar using the credentials posted on VSU’s website.

It can also be viewed on Facebook via  https://cvm.vsu.edu.ph/go/rabies-live.
