Rabies victims skipping rabies shots, alarming


By Rey Anthony H. Chiu
TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, March 20 (PIA) -- Health authorities monitoring the possible spread of rabies here expressed alarm over the apparent failure of dog bite victims to complete their full anti-rabies treatment regimen.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Reymoses Cabagnot voiced the concern of medical practitioners who know that rabies virus can remain dormant for years and would later emerge at a time when the victim is least expecting it.  (rmn/RAHC/PIA Bohol)
