September 28 is World Rabies Day – Zero By 30
September 15, 2025
World Rabies Day is recognized annually on September 28.
The World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Organisation for Animal Health, and the Global Alliance for Rabies Control came together in 2015 to create ZERO BY 30: The Global Strategic Plan to end human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030.
The global strategic plan prioritizes the societal changes needed to reach Zero by 30 into three objectives:
Objective 1: to effectively use vaccines, medicines, tools, and technologies
Objective 2: to generate, innovate, measure impact
Object 3: to sustain commitment and resources
Reaching Zero by 30 aims to save the lives of children and the livelihoods of adults and keep families together. Investing in rabies elimination strengthens health systems, improves equity and access to care, and contributes to sustainable development.
