Speaking in line with the programme, Dr Kh Trusty, Nodal Officer of National Rabies Control Programme and Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) Thoubal said that the State has been witnessing a considerable rise in dog bite cases in the State owing to the increasing number of pet dogs.
The dog bite cases are more prominent among young children, she added.
Expressing concern on the low rate of rabies vaccination in the State, Dr Trusty appealed to all to mandatorily get the dogs vaccinated with anti-rabies vaccine to prevent unwanted outcomes.
Regarding preventive measures after a dog bite, she advised all to wash the dog bite area properly with running water or using soaps and to ensure to get anti-rabies shot from a nearby medical facility.
Today's programme was also attended by Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Thoubal, Dr Y Nokul; ZEO Thoubal, A Anilkumar and CDPO Manikanta.
