The Global Alliance for this Control created World Rabies Day in 2007, and the World Health Organization (WHO) later approved it. The goal of the day is to draw attention to the advancements made in the eradication of rabies and to spread knowledge about rabies prevention. Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist who created the first rabies vaccine, passed away on September 28. As a result, September 28 is recognized annually as World Rabies Day. Every year, the Global Alliance for Rabies Control selects a different topic for World Rabies Day. The many topics have been chosen to illustrate various aspects of the illness and possible treatments.
