Limited access to rabies vaccines and post-exposure treatment is significantly hindering Kenya's ability to eliminate dog-mediated human rabies, according to veterinary experts.

• An estimated 2,000 people in Kenya die from rabies annually, with children forming a large portion of victims.
• Rosebella Ochango, a Business Developer at PetStore Kenya, highlighted that even with effective vaccines, accessibility in rural and remote areas remains a major challenge.
• Experts emphasize the need for better communication on vaccination schedules and stronger collaboration between veterinary professionals, county governments, communities, and private sector entities.
