Month-long rabies vaccination drive in Kozhikode from September 28
The Animal Husbandry department in Kozhikode is launching a month-long rabies vaccination campaign starting September 28. The initiative aims to vaccinate pet dogs through local veterinary facilities and ward-level camps to improve public safety.
Why it matters
Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease, and systematic vaccination drives are critical for public health and disease control in high-density regions.
The Animal Husbandry department’s Animal Disease Control Project (ADCP), Kozhikode, will conduct the fourth phase of the Rabies-Free Kerala vaccination campaign in the district from September 28 to October 27.
The campaign will be launched on Monday (September 28) on the occasion of World Rabies Day. Vaccination drives will be organised through veterinary hospitals, veterinary dispensaries and ward-level camps in collaboration with various local self-government institutions.
