Yesterday the Gauteng Agricultural and Rural Development Department launched the vaccination campaign for Rabies.

Today Gauteng officials have confirmed a 2-year-old girl has died, possibly from rabies but it has not yet been confirmed if the cause of her death is rabies.

The girl from Dobsonville had been bitten by dogs recently and showed symptoms that are normally associated with rabies.

State veterinarian Michael de Buda said “The autopsy has not been done yet so we are not 100 percent sure yet”.

The drive to vaccinate dogs against rabies is continuing across the province.
