Improved rabies vaccination programs for domestic animals (cats, dogs, ferrets, etc.) and better treatment for people who have been bitten have dramatically reduced the number of human rabies cases in this country.

To prevent the spread of rabies to humans, keep your pet’s vaccinations current and avoid contact with wild animals.
