Mission Anti-Rabies

VSF Austria vaccinates dogs in Africa against rabies and thus protects animals and humans from this deadly virus.

Rabies in a nutshell:

  • Rabies kills around 59,000 people every year.
  • In Tanzania alone 1,500 people die every year from rabies.
  • 40 % of the fatalities are children.
  • Around 99 % of human cases are caused by bites from infected dogs.
  • A vaccination against rabies is a 100 % protection from the virus.

We cordially thank Boehringer Ingelheim for donating the vaccines!
