World Rabies Day MSD Awards

Around the world there are hundreds of unsung heroes working in rabies prevention. We can only guess at how many lives they save. 

The World Rabies Day MSD Awards aim to recognise and reward the work of individuals and organisations making an extraordinary contribution to rabies prevention in their communities and as part of the goal of global elimination.

Please consider nominating people you believe deserve some recognition and please share this opportunity with your network.

Here's the what, who, where, when, how and why of getting involved...

​​

What - There are eight awards of US$1200 (one each for individuals and organisations in the four eligible regions - see 'Where').
