In this webinar, we will discuss how to avoid animal bites, what to do in case of rabies exposure and, in the unfortunate case of infection, how to best accompany the patient in the last days of their life.

We will also explain what low-income, rabies-endemic countries need to prepare in order to submit an application to GAVI for the supply of human rabies vaccines.

This webinar will be of interest to clinicians as well as public health specialists in rabies-endemic countries and beyond.
