Chato targets 4,000 dogs, cats in rabies vaccination campaign

The Tanzanian government has launched a rabies vaccination campaign in the Chato District Council of the Geita Region. The initiative aims to immunize over 4,000 dogs and cats across five local wards to manage and control the spread of the fatal disease.

Implemented by the Ministry of Livestock, the program represents a public health effort to mitigate the risks associated with rabies. The campaign focuses on domestic animal populations as a primary strategy to prevent transmission within the region.
