Guide for Organizing Large-Scale Dog Rabies Vaccination Days
The purpose of this Guide is to construct an instrument that permits (1) staff members from Public Health Services to obtain systematized information to guide them on how to organize, carry out, and evaluate vaccination campaign activities; and (2) explicitly indicate the role of the various institutional and social actors--be they public or private, from the national, intermediate, municipal, or local level--in the different phases or stages of vaccination campaigns to definitively interrupt the circulation of the rabies virus in the canine population. This page gives a summary and access to the full text in Spanish.
