GARC calls on all to unite for WorldRabiesDay2025 and the theme “Act Now: You, Me, Community”. Rabies is 100% preventable yet still takes a life every 9 minutes

KS, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For World Rabies Day 2025, GARC is urging communities worldwide to join them in their mission to eliminate rabies for everyone.

On 28 September 2025, you can be part of a global community working against rabies. Why World Rabies Day?

Despite medical and technological advances, rabies remains a disease that is 99% fatal, yet 100% preventable. Rabies still claims a life every nine minutes, and most victims are in Africa and Asia. The 2025 theme for World Rabies Day is Act Now: You, Me, Community. This is an international to take urgent action and globally unite to prevent rabies in their communities, create awareness around the disease and to take steps to being responsible pet owners. Rabies elimination needs individuals, communities, and leaders to work together.

This year marks the 19th World Rabies Day. For the first time, the theme does not include the word “rabies”, showing how the campaign has grown into a truly global initiative that emphasizes collective responsibility and shared action.
