Vetnuus | Oktober 2021 20 An initiative of the SOUTH AFRICAN VETERINARY ASSOCIATION Non-profit Company: 1998/016654/08 Non-profit Organisation: 000-234 NPO Public Benefit Organisation: 130001321 The number of positive rabies cases reported to date in 2021 in South Africa has unfortunately beenmuchhigher than inprevious years. The outbreak in the Eastern Cape has been particularly concerning, and several parties have joined forces to address the outbreak. Boehringer-Ingelheim has again stepped up to support our efforts and offered 20 000 rabies vaccine doses at a significantly reduced rate. The Eastern Cape SAVA branch purchased 10 000 doses distributed to Eastern Cape SAVA Branch vets for campaigns around Port Elizabeth. Dr Anthony Davis from Humansdorp CVC combined the efforts of the Kouga municipality, Assisi SPCA, St Francis Animal Rescue and JBay Animal Rescue for four campaigns during the first week of September, where 1000 vaccines were administered. His management ensured clear communications to all parties on protocols, notifications to the communities, and equipment and staff requirements for each site. His vast experience was clear on how best to manage public understanding of the disease andwhat to expect at vaccination sites. v Claudia Cloete: SAVA-CVC Manager Rabies Outbreaks in 2021 CVC News I CVC Nuus Dr Anthony Davis from Humansdorp administering a rabies vaccine on 1 September 2021 in St Francis Bay.
