Dog vaccination could save more lives than routine child PrEP in Keralam, says study
In Kerala, a new study reports that widespread vaccination of dogs, together with enhanced post‑bite treatment and closing gaps in post‑exposure prophylaxis, could lower rabies deaths by roughly 83% compared with the current strategy. The researchers emphasize that an integrated approach focusing on animal vaccination, timely medical care after bites, and ensuring prophylaxis availability may prevent more lives than routine child PrEP.
