World Rabies Day’s past

The Global Alliance for this Control created World Rabies Day in 2007, and the World Health Organization (WHO) later approved it.

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.
