World Zoonoses Day is a global awareness day held every 6 July, the anniversary of the day in 1885 when Louise Pasteur successfully administered the first vaccine against rabies. In 2021, it comes once again in the midst of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, a disease of zoonotic (animal) origin.
World Zoonoses Day is an annual opportunity to raise awareness of those diseases that can spread among animals and people and to celebrate global activities taking place to minimise the risks in the future.
World Zoonoses Day is conducted every year to emphasise and bring awareness amongst people about the zoonotic disease and teach them to take the right action.
Let us all hope for a better future and a healthy disease free life for all.
Join us in our pledge to promote healthy living on The International Zoonoses Day!
