Article Synopsis
- Canine rabies is a major health issue in Ethiopia, particularly in Addis Ababa, with a study examining barriers to dog vaccination through surveys of dog owners during free vaccination programs in 2017.
- Results showed that while 62.4% of dog owners had vaccinated their pets in the past year, common barriers included a lack of awareness about the need for vaccination and where to access it.
- Despite a majority being willing to pay for a vaccination, many were unwilling to travel, highlighting the need for more accessible and affordable vaccination options to meet the target for rabies elimination.
