請大力分享..WHO世界衛生組織:狂犬病撲殺無效,應打疫苗!!  
WHO: The most cost-effective strategy for preventing rabies is by eliminating rabies thru vaccination!

本月16日行政院農委會發佈消息,經通報OIE台灣已正式列為狂犬病疫區。
台灣之心(HOTAC)愛護動物協會呼籲農委會遵循世界衛生組織WHO專家報告建議,
⋯⋯ 強化狂犬病疫苗施打普及率,避免訴諸大規模撲殺,
撲殺不僅無效,同時會對疫苗接種計劃造成反效果。
應盡快取得各地動保志工配合協助,讓各地區犬隻狂犬病預防注射率提高到70%以上,
則即使有犬隻帶原,狂犬病也將無從傳染擴散。
強烈建議農委會提供疫苗與耗材,並與獸醫師公會共同提供免費的注射服務。

Taiwan has not had a case of animal rabies since 1961, but COA has confirmed 3 cases of rabies in wild Formosan ferret-badgers, putting Taiwan back on the list of countries with the virus.   We urge Taiwan government to follow WHO guideline on rabies prevention.   "Rabies is a vaccine-preventable disease.  The most cost-effective strategy for preventing rabies in people is by eliminating rabies in dogs thru vaccination." 

In 2010, Bali killed 200,000 dogs but it didn't halt rabies until a mass vaccination.  Therefore, we strongly urge Taiwan government to follow WHO guideline on rabies prevention.  "Preventing human rabies thru control of domestic dog rabies is a realistic goal for large parts of Africa and Asia, and is justified financially by the future savings of discontinuing post-exposure prophylaxis for people".
