Project Title: Eliminating human rabies: Impact of enhanced mass dog vaccination coverage

Project Description: The project is a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will be implemented in the Mara region in Northern Tanzania. The project is essentially for testing a new delivery strategy of Mass dog vaccination (MDV) that aim to increase and maintain vaccination coverage in dog populations. The trial will compare a new intervention involving village community volunteers (continuous vaccination arm) in organizing MDV against the standard method involving a team of vaccinators from ward or...
