## Why Rabies Vaccination for Street Dogs Matters
Roughly 99% of human rabies deaths come from dog bites — mostly in Asia and Africa. WHO estimates about 59,000 human rabies deaths annually. Mass dog vaccination, not culling, is the evidence-based control method. CNVR delivers vaccination alongside neutering.

## The 70% Coverage Threshold
WHO guidance targets roughly 70% rabies vaccination coverage in the free-roaming dog population to interrupt transmission. Achieving this requires sustained CNVR rounds over three to five years — not one-off campaigns. Monthly donor income helps partners maintain schedules.

## CNVR — Catch, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return
Dogs are humanely caught, neutered under anaesthetic, vaccinated against rabies, marked for identification and returned to territory. Stable vaccinated populations protect communities better than culling, which creates a vacuum effect.

## Where WARN Funds Rabies Vaccination
Pakistan (Karachi and Lahore), the Philippines (Manila, Cebu, Davao), India and Nepal within the 17-country network. Donate at /appeals/karachi-dogs or /donate directed to street dog welfare.

## Cost Per Vaccinated Dog
Roughly £15–25 funds one dog through catch, surgery, rabies vaccine and return when pooled with partner infrastructure. £100 supports a small clinic day vaccinating dozens of dogs.

## UK Donor Route
Donate in GBP at /donate or /appeals/karachi-dogs. See /rescue/help-street-dogs-abroad and /rescue/why-dog-culling-does-not-work for full CNVR context.

## WHO Vaccination Thresholds
WHO guidance targets roughly 70% rabies vaccination coverage in the free-roaming dog population to interrupt transmission. CNVR delivers vaccination alongside neutering — the integrated model WARN funds in Pakistan, the Philippines, India and Nepal.

## What WARN funds
- Rabies vaccines and surgical consumables for CNVR partners.
- Repeat vaccination rounds targeting 70% coverage over multiple years.
- Community education explaining vaccination protects people and dogs.
- Emergency shelter care for rabies-exposed or injured dogs.

## FAQ
### How do I donate to rabies vaccination for street dogs?
Donate at /appeals/karachi-dogs or /donate with street dog allocation.

### Does rabies vaccination protect people?
Yes — vaccinating enough dogs interrupts dog-mediated rabies transmission to humans.

### What coverage stops rabies transmission?
WHO targets roughly 70% of the free-roaming dog population vaccinated — achievable through sustained CNVR.

### Is culling effective for rabies control?
No. WHO and WOAH reject culling. It fails to reach vaccination thresholds and creates a vacuum effect.

### Which countries does WARN vaccinate dogs in?
Pakistan, the Philippines, India and Nepal within the 17-country network.

### What is CNVR?
Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return — humane population management combining neutering and rabies vaccination.

### Can I give monthly for rabies vaccination?
Yes — /donate/monthly helps partners plan multi-year vaccination schedules.

### How much does one dog vaccination cost?
Roughly £15–25 per dog through catch, neuter, vaccinate and return when partner infrastructure is in place.

### Does rabies vaccination alone work without neutering?
Vaccination alone helps rabies control; adding neutering stabilises populations long term. CNVR combines both in one field intervention.
