The Department of Health said it observed a decline in the number of rabies cases in the country in the past two weeks.

The DOH logged a 20 percent decrease with only 12 cases reported from August 18 to 31, 2024, compared to the 15 cases from August 4 to 17, 2024.

However, DOH saw a total of 354 rabies cases recorded nationwide as of September 14, 2024.

The said figure reflects a 23 percent increase compared to the 287 cases reported in the same period last year.

The DOH likewise said all confirmed cases were fatal as it urged the public to remain vigilant and be proactive in preventing rabies transmission.

With the latest data, ten regions — which includes the National Capital Region (NCR), Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and Soccsksargen — showed an increase in rabies cases in the past month.

According to DOH, rabies is preventable through timely vaccination of both pets and individuals who were exposed to the virus.

Individuals bitten by animals should seek immediate medical attention and, if necessary, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to prevent rabies infection.

The department also noted that vaccinating dogs and cats is the most effective way to stop rabies.

Earlier this year, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said that P110 million is needed to vaccinate around 22 million dogs and cats in the country.

“Rabies is 100 percent fatal once symptoms appear, but it is also 100 percent preventable through timely vaccination of dogs and cats and prompt treatment of humans after exposure. We cannot afford to be complacent with such a dangerous disease. The DOH supports the Department of Agriculture in its request for a complete budget for dog and cat vaccination,” Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa said.
