Rabies kills someone every 9 minutes, despite being 100% vaccine-preventable. World Rabies Day is an opportunity to reflect on the impact of this disease and raise awareness of the global goal: zero canine-mediated rabies deaths worldwide by 2030.

Did you know? In areas where at least 70% of dogs are vaccinated annually, rabies can be kept under control. That is why every dose counts.

For 30 years, the Afya Program has donated vaccines to the regions around the globe that are most impacted by this devastating disease.

We are Stronger Together for World Rabies Day 2026!

On 28 September 2026, World Rabies Day raises global awareness for the disease. This year's theme, Stronger Together, reminds us that rabies elimination is only possible if we work together. Collaboration is not optional, but essential if we want to make a world free from rabies a reality.

This year, remember:
Everyone has a role to play.
Collaboration increases impact.
Rabies elimination depends on interconnected actions.

🐾 PAWS FOR A CAUSE 🐾

Meet Angela Blackwell (a blind trailblazer, mom of two and fearless adventurer) and her incredible guide dog, Jaydee.
In 2026, they’ll become the first guide-dog team to take on the 60km Pondo Trail™, all to challenge perceptions of blindness and raise R500,000 for the SA Guide-Dogs Association.

After losing her sight in 2021, Angela found renewed freedom and confidence through Jaydee, and now she’s paying it forward with her “Paws on the Path” campaign. Together, they’re training hard to tackle wild beaches, river crossings and rugged cliff paths along South Africa’s breath-taking Wild Coast.
Support their journey and help fund future life-changing guide dogs. Follow along at and donate via the link in her bio.

MSD Animal Health sponsored Jaydee’s Nobivac® vaccinations who has become an incredible support and walking buddy for Angela.
