The Laikipia Rabies Vaccination Campaign(LRVC) is a multi-year mass vaccination of domestic dogs and cats against the deadly rabies disease. This campaign has been carried out every year since 2015 by a dedicated team based at the Mpala Research Center in Laikipia - Kenya and immensely supported by the veterinary department at the Laikipia County government and other partners including the Kenya national government's Zoonotic Disease Unit (One Health Kenya).
While our campaign is not a single-day event on World Rabies Day, this particular day is important to us as it highlights and brings attention to a wider reach of the importance of rabies control and the risk of lack of control. In the current year, the LRVC team has been involved in rabies control the whole year and will continue until we reach a target of 25,000 dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies in 2023.
Join us and support us as we vaccinate yet a few more thousand dogs in Laikipia on World Rabies Day and in the weeks following, all in the bid to eradicate the deadly but neglected rabies.
