The regional campaign against rabies in Siliana, Tunisia, began in early September and is set to conclude in late October. According to Abdelrazak Al-Majri, head of the animal production department at the regional agricultural development delegation, the campaign aims to vaccinate animals against the disease. In the first ten days of September, veterinary services in the region vaccinated 1334 animals for 592 beneficiaries as part of the national program to prevent rabies.
The vaccination campaign is part of a broader effort to protect animal health in the region. In addition to rabies vaccinations, veterinary services have also vaccinated 20418 cattle against lumpy skin disease and 21621 cattle against foot-and-mouth disease. Furthermore, 236203 heads of small livestock, including sheep and goats, were vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease, and 87334 sheep were vaccinated against brucellosis since the beginning of the year.
The regional authorities are urging citizens to participate in the vaccination campaign and make it a success. Citizens are encouraged to bring their animals to be vaccinated, which will help prevent the spread of rabies and protect public health. The campaign is a collaborative effort between the veterinary services and local communities to ensure animal health and safety.
