According to the Animal Rabies Surveillance in China (Proceedings of the China Rabies Annual Meeting of 20 12), the author issued1KLOC-0 from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Chongqing during 2004-20165438, all of which are owned by these seven provinces and cities. Among them, the positive rates of samples from non-epidemic areas in Hebei, Shaanxi and Chongqing were all 0.

The probability of being bitten by a mad dog without vaccination is 1/3, so the probability of being bitten by a wild dog in an epidemic area is about one thousandth, which is less than one thousandth in the whole country. The probability of being bitten by dogs in big cities is almost zero, because there are almost no mad dogs.

Although it is a small probability event, if it is not certain that it is a healthy dog, it is still necessary to vaccinate against risks.
