World Rabies Day is observed annually on September 28th. It was established by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control to raise awareness about the impact of rabies on humans and animals, and to promote prevention methods. The date commemorates Louis Pasteur, who developed the first rabies vaccine. While rabies is nearly 100% fatal once symptoms appear, Japan has a history of successful rabies eradication efforts. However, globally, rabies remains a significant public health issue, and initiatives like "Zero by 30" aim to eliminate human rabies deaths transmitted by dogs by 2030. In some regions, neglecting pet vaccinations can incur fines.
