Boehringer Ingelheim, in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC), the Field Epidemiology Training Program Alumni Foundation, Inc. (FETPAFI), the municipal government of Marinduque and provincial veterinarians, spearheaded the Stop Rabies program to restore Marinduque’s rabies-free status. This collaborative effort focuses on increasing vaccination rates with a comprehensive campaign targeting dogs and cats across the province, while also promoting responsible pet ownership through mass spaying and castration.
