Master of Epidemiology at Diponegoro University in Collaboration with PDHI Central Java 1 Holds Talkshow and Free Rabies Vaccination

Master of Epidemiology UNDIP in collaboration with the Indonesian Veterinary Association (PDHI) Central Java 1, held a talk show on rabies and organized a free rabies vaccination program for pets. This event was held at the Imam Bardjo Auditorium UNDIP with the aim of raising public awareness about the dangers of rabies and inviting them to participate in efforts to prevent this disease.

Rabies is a deadly and highly contagious disease that can affect both humans and animals. The disease is caused by a virus that is usually transmitted through the bite of infected animals, especially dogs and cats. Therefore, rabies prevention and control efforts are essential to protect public health.

This talk show on rabies invited various veterinarians, and public health practitioners to talk about various aspects of the disease. They shared their knowledge on the symptoms, spread and management of rabies. They also provided information on the importance of rabies vaccination for pets and actions to take if someone is bitten by a suspected rabid animal.

During the talk show, participants were able to ask questions and discuss with experts, so they could better understand rabies and the steps they can take to protect themselves and their families. This activity is also an effort to dispel myths and misinformation about rabies that may be circulating in the community.

In addition to the talk show, Master of Epidemiology UNDIP and PDHI Central Java 1 also organized a free rabies vaccination program for pets. This is a concrete step to reduce the risk of rabies transmission from pets to humans. This program received a positive response from the public who are concerned about the health of their pets.

This talk show and free rabies vaccination program is part of the joint efforts of Master of Epidemiology UNDIP and PDHI Central Java 1 in making a positive contribution to public health and pet welfare. Hopefully this activity can increase public awareness about rabies and encourage appropriate preventive measures to protect themselves and their families from this disease.
