Virginia-Maryland CVM Celebrates World Rabies Day

World Rabies Day happened on 9/28! Check out what the Virginia Maryland SAVMA One Health Working Group did to celebrate! 

For World Rabies Day this year (Sept. 28th), the One Health Working Group at VMCVM created a Buzzfeed quiz that matches participants with a common rabies vector species as a fun way to spread information about rabies transmission and prevention! Although any mammal can be infected with and spread rabies, vector species are those that are primarily responsible for maintaining the virus in nature. Find the link below for the Buzzfeed Quiz! Take the quiz to learn more about rabies vector species and find out which vector species you are! Share with us a screen shot of what rabies vector species you are!

What does supporting the WakeUpVetMed Initiative mean?

Formal endorsement of the WakeUpVetMed initiative indicates that your organization, business, association, community or academic institution supports the framework listed in the actionables document as a means for addressing systemic racism in veterinary medicine. While the initial call to action was addressed specifically to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the WakeUpVetMed endorsement is a broad call to action for the entire worldwide veterinary community to work collaboratively in creating transformational and lasting change in the lens of diversity, equity and inclusion."
