Caption:
Photographed in 2012, by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Veterinary Medical Officer, Ryan M. Wallace, DVM, MPH, this image depicts an elderly Vietnam woman watching over a young toddler, who was interacting with three small dogs on the front porch area of their residence. The importance of this close human/canine interaction is that at the time, fewer than one in three dogs in rural, northern Vietnam were vaccinated for rabies. That year 20 people died of the disease. In 2014, government vaccination campaigns have since achieved 68% vaccination coverage in dogs, and so far, there has only been one human death.
