of 85%.

While officials cite glitches in data collection to justify low vaccine utilization, district-wise data show that some districts recorded abysmal doses in certain years. In 2019, only 10 doses were administered in dogs in Kozhikode. In 2020, the number was 51 for Wayanad. Thrissur, which recorded 39,050 doses in 2016 recorded just 249 doses in 2019. All districts saw a uniform dip in the doses administered in dogs.

Lack of manpower and adequate Resources and an overburdened workforce were cited as reasons for the low utilization of anti-rabies vaccine in dogs. Often a vet is burdened with duties related to two-three panchayats and he/she must take care of many other tasks as well, said officials.
