World Rabies Day 2026 | Animal Bite: Act Immediately
An animal bite or scratch should never be ignored.
If you may have been exposed to rabies, immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical attention promptly for appropriate assessment and post-exposure care.
Early action can be an important part of preventing rabies after exposure.
