World Rabies Day is observed on September 28 each year to raise awareness about rabies prevention and control. This day commemorates the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur, who developed the first rabies vaccine. The goal is to educate people about the dangers of rabies, a deadly virus that can be transmitted through the bite of an infected animal, primarily dogs. The day encourages communities to take action by promoting vaccination for pets and providing information on how to avoid rabies exposure. Various organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, participate in activities to spread knowledge and resources related to rabies prevention.
