Scarcity of anti-rabies vaccine in Baitadi

BAITADI: Lack of anti-rabies vaccine in the district has forced the service recipients to go out of the district to get vaccinated.

There has been a shortage of anti-rabies vaccine in the district hospital for the past three weeks, says Harish Pant, Information Officer of the hospital.

The Provincial Supply Center has already been informed about the shortage of the vaccine.

Anit-rabies vaccination is administered at the District Hospital, at Patan Primary Health Center and Kesharpur Primary Health Center.

People need to get the anti-rabies vaccine in case they are bitted by dogs, cats and other pets, as well as wild animals such as foxes and wolves.
