WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Rabies is fatal while preventable. More than 99% of human rabies cases were caused by dog bites worldwide. Mass dog vaccination could interrupt dog-mediated rabies if achieving and maintaining a minimum coverage rate of 70%.
WHAT DOES THIS REPORT CONTRIBUTE?: The results of this study show that roughly 23.7% of households owned dogs in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China but only about 19.1% of these households reported having their dogs vaccinated. Possible positive factors were injury history of dog bites, awareness of the necessity, and policy help for the costs of dog vaccination, but negative factors were negative attitude and inaccessibility.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICES?: Much more effort should be made to improve dog vaccination coverage in rural areas in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Well-designed free mass vaccination campaigns with more accessibility and awareness campaigns are important to improve coverage.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:狂犬病是致命的,但可预防。全球超过99%的人类狂犬病病例是由狗咬伤所致。如果能实现并维持至少70%的覆盖率,大规模犬类疫苗接种可阻断狗传播的狂犬病。
本报告有何贡献?:本研究结果表明,在中国广西壮族自治区,约23.7%的家庭养狗,但这些家庭中只有约19.1%报告给狗接种过疫苗。可能的积极因素是狗咬伤的受伤史、对必要性的认识以及狗疫苗接种费用的政策支持,但消极因素是消极态度和难以获得接种服务。
对公共卫生实践有何启示?:在中国广西壮族自治区的农村地区,应付出更多努力来提高犬类疫苗接种覆盖率。精心设计的免费大规模疫苗接种活动以及提高可及性和认识的宣传活动对于提高覆盖率很重要。
