From the previous 1,000 patients per day, San Lazaro Hospital in Manila is now seeing about 3,000 people needing rabies shots daily amid low vaccine supply in some local government units. According to Maki Pulido’s report on “24 Oras” on Thursday, the hospital said the number of patients should not have to reach this level because local governments should have animal bite centers.
A total of 169 rabies cases have been recorded in the Philippines in just the first five months of 2024, a 13% jump from the same period last year. Of these 169 cases, 160 were fatalities. According to experts, if bitten by a dog or scratched by a cat, wash the wound well and consult a doctor immediately within 24 hours.The Manila local government unit said their supply of anti-rabies vaccine is sufficient. Patients just need to go to designated animal bite centers.
