| Changing current public perception regarding rabies prevention and control |
| Rabies - Solutions | |||
Key activities for public education should include increasing rabies awareness through media activities, fund raising, and education programmes.
Examples of media activities could include TV, radio, printed materials, movies, press releases, celebrity endorsements and commercial sponsorship. Fund raising activities could be coordinated through nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), as well as through the private sector. Public awareness activities should prioritize those most at risk of exposure including: the underprivileged segments of society, school children, animal control workers and veterinarians. In addition, rabies education should extend to medical and veterinary students and professionals, health care providers, and politicians. Country specific and language specific messages regarding responsible dog ownership and appropriate PET are essential.
