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!
