It is essential to seek treatment for rabies immediately after being bitten or scratched by an unvaccinated animal. The virus can take days, weeks or even months to reach the brain - but once it does, it is 100% fatal.

The One Health in Africa Centre at ILRI supports the eradication effort against rabies in Kenya through mass dog vaccination campaigns.
