Egypt is aiming to vaccinate at least 70 percent of stray dogs against rabies as part of a broader shift toward a more scientific and regulated framework for managing the stray dog population, according to the General Authority for Veterinary Services. Speaking during a meeting of the House of Representatives’ Agriculture and Irrigation Committee on Wednesday, chaired by former minister El-Sayed El-Quseir, the authority’s head Dr. Hamed Moussa El-Aknes said the new approach will rely on modern tools to address the issue through population control, vaccination, and humane interventions. El-Aknes emphasized that stray dogs have a high reproduction rate, making rabies prevention and population management a public health priority that requires “scientific solutions based on population management and vaccination rather than old methods.” He added that the authority, in coordination with several ministries, is working to secure rabies vaccine doses and other necessary supplies to implement the plan in the coming period.
