The increase in human rabies in Bacolod prompted the city health office, the city ve-terinarians office and the mayor’s office to conduct massive education campaign in schools and barangays and augmenting the budget for another 7,000 doses of vaccines for dogs—but simply, this was not enough based on the increase in cases.
The city government allocates only 100 vials of antirabies serum, worth P1,300 each per quarter, and with a victim needing at least five doses of these, only 20 animal bites victims can be served every quarter.
