The Afya Program is Merck Animal Health’s global non-profit initiative committed to donating our NOBIVAC® rabies vaccines for use in canine vaccination campaigns in rabies-endemic communities around the world that are in desperate need of these life-saving vaccines. For more than 25 years, Merck Animal Health has donated canine rabies vaccines through the Afya Program to Mission Rabies and Rabies Free Africa in support of the commitment to eradicate rabies worldwide. Merck Animal Health has dedicated its full support to the humanitarian efforts of our partners and their goal of eliminating canine-mediated rabies around the world.

US veterinarians play a crucial role in rabies prevention. By creating awareness with their customers and choosing NOBIVAC for their vaccination protocols, veterinary professionals are actively supporting the Afya Program and the global effort to eliminate rabies. In the United States, responsible dog ownership is essential to combatting rabies. With regular veterinary appointments and following vaccination schedules, dog owners can take a One Health approach to protecting both their dog and their family from this dangerous disease.
