IBCM=integrated bite case management.

^*Because of the low frequency of true rabies exposures among bite victims, we did exposure-stratum sampling rather than random sampling from the entire eligible population. Therefore, population-adjusted rates reflect the likely rate of the event among all bite victims investigated by the Haiti Animal Rabies Surveillance Program.

^†People with confirmed, probable, and suspected rabies exposures were recommended to complete vaccination.

^‡People for whom rabies was ruled out through observation or testing were recommended to discontinue vaccination.
