Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in warm-blooded animals.

It is transmitted by animals, most commonly by a bite from an infected animal, but occasionally by other forms of contact.

The virus is shed in the saliva of the infected animal.

The vaccinations are free of charge, and compulsory by law.
