World Rabies Day is Sept. 28 - created to raise awareness of public health impact of the rabies virus & importance of vaccination.

Rabies remains a major concern worldwide, killing tens of thousands of people every year. In the US, two people die annually from rabies and there were more than 4,900 reported cases of animal rabies in the U.S. in 2016.

World Rabies Day, launched in 2007, aims to raise awareness about the public health impact of human and animal rabies.
