Rabies prevention focuses on avoiding exposure to the virus, which is primarily transmitted through bites from infected animals, especially dogs. Vaccinating pets against rabies is crucial, as it significantly reduces the risk of transmission to humans. Keeping pets on leashes and avoiding contact with wild animals also helps prevent potential rabies exposure. If bitten by an animal, it is essential to wash the wound immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention. Post-exposure prophylaxis, which includes a series of rabies vaccinations, can effectively prevent the disease if administered promptly after exposure.
