Health Ministry Rabies Guidelines
Tunisia celebrates World Rabies Day on September 28, emphasizing the importance of prevention. The country recorded 3 fatalities from the disease in the first nine months of 2026, with over 100,000 people exposed to risks from infected animals. The Ministry of Health confirmed that rabies is a serious disease that affects the nervous system and leads to death once symptoms appear, but it can be effectively prevented by avoiding contact with stray dogs, seeking immediate treatment after bites or scratches, and vaccinating pets annually. The nationwide free vaccination campaign for dogs and cats against rabies continues throughout September and October under the slogan "Stronger Together," aiming to reduce the number of stray animals and raise community awareness about the importance of prevention.
