Mass oral vaccination of wild animals in Poland has positively impacted rabies control since 1993. Despite ongoing risks in unvaccinated areas, no human rabies cases were reported in 1999, demonstrating program effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Rabies remains a significant zoonotic disease globally.
  • Mass oral vaccination programs for wildlife were initiated in Poland in 1993.
  • Unvaccinated areas in northeastern Poland present ongoing rabies reservoirs.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the impact of mass oral vaccination on the rabies epizootic situation in Poland.
  • To assess the effectiveness of rabies control strategies in a national context.

Summary:

  • Mass oral vaccination against rabies in wild animals, implemented in Poland in 1993, has positively influenced the epizootic situation.
  • No human rabies cases were reported in Poland in 1999.
  • Vaccination was primarily driven by contact with animals where rabies was not excluded (69%) or animals healthy during exposure (10%).
