World Rabies Day 2012 Photo Contest

Congratulations to the winner and runner up of the 2012 World Rabies Day photo contest.

 
On World Rabies Day, Dr. Omesh Kumar Bharti in Shimla, India, gave pre exposure rabies vaccination to 57 rag pickers at a waste disposal site, including women and children (main photo to the left and small photo lower left). He would like to draw attention to the need to provide free vaccination for disadvantaged populations who run a daily risk of exposure to rabies.
 
The runner up in the competition was Spana/Syria Animal Protection Project (lower right). At its premises in the faculty of veterinary medicine at Al Baath University in Hama, the group organised a campaign of rabies awareness for children and free vaccination for dogs, including strays.
