World Rabies Day HistoryWorld Rabies Day is an annual global observance aimed to raise awareness about the impact of rabies and the importance of its prevention. This day is observed to promote accurate information, advocate for effective vaccination strategies and encourage responsible pet ownership. In doing so, the campaign's primary objective is to unite governments, organisations, and individuals across the world in the fight against this fatal, yet preventable disease. The first World Rabies Day was held in 2007 after being initiated by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, with the World Health Organization and other international agencies supporting the initiative. While rabies is not currently a threat in New Zealand, the country's geographical isolation and strict biosecurity measures maintain its rabies-free status. Nonetheless, educating New Zealanders on the importance of remaining vigilant and adhering to biosecurity protocols is essential to keeping the nation rabies-free, protecting human and animal populations alike. In New Zealand, World Rabies Day is observed through public health campaigns, educational programmes, and advocacy for responsible pet ownership. These efforts, led by various organisations and authorities, focus on raising awareness and sharing knowledge about the prevention of rabies – a vital safeguard in a world where the virus remains a significant global health issue. While New Zealand celebrates World Rabies Day in conjunction with other countries, it takes place annually on September 28, serving as a powerful reminder of the need for continued vigilance and awareness in order to protect our communities and wildlife.
