Other services

During the mobile days, vaccination is also promoted for children, adults and pregnant women. In that sense, the delegate of the Ciudad Real health center, Mariela Ximic, called on residents to attend the different sessions held there.

We call on neighbors to attend comprehensive sessions so that the little ones have their entire vaccination and deworming schedule, as well as their weight and height checks.

Anger

THE MSPAS, with the support of experts from the Zoonosis Program, details that rabies is a fatal disease that affects the nervous system. However, it is 100% preventable through vaccination. Hence, the importance of vaccinating pets arises.

This virus is found in the saliva of infected animals and is transmitted through bites, scratches or contact with the mucosa of the eyes, nose and mouth.

Prevention

With the aim that Guatemalans contribute to the elimination of rabies, health authorities have issued some recommendations to avoid cases of this disease.

vaccinate dogs every year from one month of age, request and keep the vaccination card on hand in case of being bitten by a dog, cat or other animal, immediately go to the nearest Health service to be evaluated and treated . If your dog or cat is bitten by an unknown animal, it is necessary to contact the nearest Health service.

Vaccination Campaign for Dogs in Tacna to Prevent Human Rabies Outbreak

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 26, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Given the epidemiological alert issued by the Ministry of Health, after reporting a case of human rabies in the city of Arequipa, the Regional Health Directorate of Tacna reported that this year, from July 15 to date, the anti-rabies vaccine has been applied. to 34,675 dogs at the regional level, which represents an advance of 98.5% in vaccination.

He responsible for the Environmental Health area of the Tacna Health Network, Fredy Pastrana Talaverareported that the Campaign goal is to immunize 35,135 dogs until October 30which is why it calls on dog owners to go with their pets to the San Francisco, Bolognesi and Leoncio Prado health centers from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Pastrana said that There are 900 doses in stock, which must be applied in the remainder of the year. “The campaign ends on October 30, but In November and December, dogs will continue to be vaccinated that they be taken to the indicated health centers,” he mentioned.

The official explained that the Target figure is the result of an analysis according to the amount of population in the region. “At the regional level there are more than 300,000 inhabitants, 10% of this amount was taken to determine the number of dogs that should be vaccinated, taking into account the population by sectors. Stray dogs have not been considered in this figure, since it is difficult to identify and locate them.that is why it is important that local governments intervene with sterilizations and kennels,” he said.

Vaccination is annual

The application of the rabies vaccine, which must be carried out every year, consists of a dermal dose, that is, through an injection. “Vaccination is every year, that is why dogs must be taken to health centers every year to be immunized,” he stated.

He pointed out that If a person is bitten by a dog, they must receive 5 doses of the anti-rabies vaccine for humans.which are applied within a period of 28 days.

“Once A person who is bitten must wash the wound with plenty of soap, seek medical attention, identify the dog so that it can be evaluated.and it is determined whether it has rabies or not, if it does not have the disease, the application of the five doses to the person can be suspended, but if the dog is not located the person will have to receive all the doses,” he said.

They ask for vaccination of stray dogs

The president of the Tacna Animal Defense Association Edith Álvarez Olarte, urged the health sector to carry out field work, in order to identify dogs in vulnerable or homeless situations. “The most exposed and most likely to have rabies are homeless dogs, which is why we ask that you focus on them,” he said.

Álvarez Olarte indicated that andLast year it was estimated between 7,000 to 8,000 stray dogsHowever, in 2023 it is assumed that the figure will be much higher. “When a dog gives birth, she does not have a single puppy, but several, even up to 10, which is why we believe that the dog population has increased considerably, even more so when the ideal care is not given,” she stated.

That’s why, asked municipal authorities to comply with the “Four Legs” Lawwhich provides for the implementation of municipal veterinary clinics, to promote the sterilization of dogs and prevent overpopulation. “Local governments must put into practice the Four Legs Law that was passed more than a year ago and is already regulated,” he urged.

Finally, he urged local governments or public institutions to coordinate with the health sector so that anti-rabies vaccines reach community or street dogs. “There are little dogs that live in public institutions, as well as community dogs, which, although they do not have an owner, are fed by neighbors. It is necessary to focus on that canine population that is the most vulnerable,” he added.

Anger

Rabies is a viral infectious disease of the central nervous system that causes acute encephalitis. The virus attacks domestic and wild mammals, which includes humans, and can cause death if not prevented in time. It is found in the secretions of infected animals and is transmitted to man through a bite or if he has a cut in the skin that comes into contact with the saliva of the sick animal. Tacna has been a region free of this disease for 45 years.
