Vaccination - satu perkataan yang hangat diperkatakan sekarang, kan? It’s important that we play our part to get vaccinated against Covid-19 so that we can achieve herd immunity and keep each other safe. The same for rabies. In the last few years, Sarawak has seen a rise in rabies cases, and we need to work together to prevent unnecessary losses.
So let’s talk about rabies. All mammals - including dogs, cats and humans, can catch rabies. It’s an incurable (but preventable) virus that attacks the brain and spinal cord. A mammal catches rabies by getting bitten by, or coming into contact with the saliva of another infected animal.
Rabies CAN BE PREVENTED through vaccination, and in Sarawak, the government has a FREE anti-rabies vaccination programme for dogs, through Jabatan Perkhidmatan Verterinar Sarawak or the Department of Veterinary Services Sarawak. Whatsapp / message the DVS Sarawak anti-rabies hotline at +6016-2557267 to find out where you can bring dogs and cats to get vaccinated.

By doing this we not only protect our beloved pets, but also ourselves, our families, our neighbours, and our home Sarawak. Sayang Sarawak ya guys ❤ Remember - rabies is preventable, and it’s our job to protect each other.
In the coming months I’ll be sharing more about the anti-rabies campaign, kalau ada apa2 soalan mengenai ni, tanya saja ya.
