September 28 is World Rabies Day. Established in 2007, World Rabies Day aims to raise awareness about the world’s deadliest infectious disease and help the world come together to fight the disease. The theme for 2023’s World Rabies Day is “Rabies: All for One, One Health for All,” and focuses on:
- Continuing to work towards eliminating rabies around the world
- Embracing the One Health approach to rabies control, which means collaborating across human, animal, and environmental sectors
- Focusing on the “Zero by 30” goal to reduce rabies deaths in people to zero globally by 2030.
