The virus is in many areas of Syria, with dogs being the principal reservoir and vector, bringing humans into contact with the virus.

Celebrating World Rabies Day 2011 is a continuation of our previous activities to widespread awareness about the disease and its prevention. The plan is to start a vaccination campaign for dogs in our facilities in Hama for free, distributing posters about how to avoid dog bites, and a leaflet about what should you know about rabies.
