Cases of human rabies per million human population for alternative dog rabies vaccination programs in East Africa: A. Low levels of transmission; B. High levels of transmissiona Footnotes: a. Results for two scenarios for dog rabies vaccination programs in an East African population of 1 million persons (approximately 2/3 urban, 1/3 rural), with approximately 82,000 dogs (Table 1). Vaccination programs: Option 1, annual mass dog vaccination, resulting in 50% of the dog population vaccinated, and Option 2, biannual (twice per year) mass dog vaccination, resulting in 20% of the dog population vaccinated for each vaccination program. Rabies transmission risk is defined, in part, by the number of bites per rabid dog to another dog (see Table 2).
