World Health Organization and UNICEF have launched a series of three short educational films designed to help communities better understand rabies prevention and what to do after a dog bite.
The films target three key audiences: children, parents and teachers, and community health workers. Together they explain how rabies is transmitted, how to avoid dog bites, and the lifesaving importance of immediate wound washing and rapid access to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Designed for use in schools, community meetings and health facilities, the films support countries in strengthening awareness, surveillance and rapid response—key pillars of the global effort to eliminate dog-mediated human rabies deaths.
