World Rabies Day Awards

World Rabies Day awards banner

We're excited to announce the World Rabies Day Awardees! 

After weeks of voting, the World Rabies Day Awardees have been determined! The judging was closer than ever, and the public vote was the tiebreaker!

See the deserving Awardees below and read all about the excellent work that they have been doing to have caught the judges (and your) attention!

We would like to congratulate all those who have received the World Rabies Day awards for the accomplishments!

We would also like to commend all those who were shortlisted, as their work is no less significant and they should be highlighted as exemplary individuals who lead the way in terms of driving rabies elimination efforts in their own communities. 

Congratulations to everyone and we would like to sincerely thank all of you who participated and voted for contributing to the World Rabies Day Awards for 2024.
