Brazil municipal rabies vaccination drives

Overview

Municipal rabies vaccination drives continued expanding in August 2026. In Rio de Janeiro, the municipal government launched a free campaign on 8 August, operating 125 vaccination posts across several districts. In Araguatins, a ‘Dia D’ event was scheduled to immunize 6,201 animals. Meanwhile, Itabuna, Cuiabá, and Natal reported significant progress in their respective immunization targets. By late August, efforts intensified in response to localized risks and new cases. In Poços de Caldas, authorities established a ‘vaccine blockade’ near a confirmed case. In the Distrito Federal, free vaccination remains available year-round following a confirmed rabies case in a dog in Lago Norte, which interrupted a long period without canine cases. Similarly, in Palmas, vaccination coverage reached 87.02% following a recent canine rabies case. Other regional updates include: • Manaus: Initiated its 2026 campaign with a target of over 280,000 animals using home visits and fixed posts. • Feira de Santana: Over 32,000 animals have been immunized, reaching 55% of the municipal goal. • Cruzeiro do Sul: Health teams have begun door-to-door vaccinations. • São Paulo: 20 fixed posts are offering free vaccines. • Natal: Conducting door-to-door efforts in five specific neighborhoods. • Ribas do Rio Pardo: Teams are covering both urban and rural areas to ensure widespread protection. In early September, new campaign details emerged. In Itaboraí, a vaccination program is scheduled to run for 11 weeks through November, utilizing mobile teams to visit schools, squares, and health units. Additionally, the Centro de Controle de Zoonoses (CCZ) is expanding its reach by implementing weekend and holiday actions, such as house-to-house vaccination in São Conrado and fixed points at the Estrela do Sul Community Center on Independence Day. By 5 September, Cuiabá authorities scheduled free rabies vaccination sessions for dogs and cats in the Jardim Imperial and Lixeira neighborhoods.
