There has been lots of info all over media and social media, ever since the rabies "outbreak" began in north Malaysia.
I did some search on my own, and would like to share this info from WHO website:
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs099/en/
From there I learned that:
- Rabies is a VACCINE-PREVENTABLE viral disease
- There is preventative immunization in people, and
- There is post-exposure treatment for people who have been bitten
I find the info on local media so far has been confusing and not very helpful. If you haven't done so already, please find out more info about rabies from more reputable sources such as - but not limited to - the above.
This post is not just for dog lovers. Even if you are not a dog person, such info will also be helpful for the protection of you and your family.
Peace.
