WEBVTT - Rabies Is Back!

0:00:00.230 --> 0:00:03.170
<v Speaker 1>Um, the CDC has issued a health advisory warning the

0:00:03.210 --> 0:00:05.790
<v Speaker 1>public and health officials about, this seems a little old timey,

0:00:05.820 --> 0:00:08.500
<v Speaker 1>but rabies. What now? What was the other one? A

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, dysentery or something. We were worried

0:00:10.539 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>about the Oregon trail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.030
<v Speaker 1>thought we, I thought we were good on measles, but I,

0:00:17.100 --> 0:00:20.930
<v Speaker 1>We're not. The warning says since July, several U.S. areas

0:00:20.970 --> 0:00:24.350
<v Speaker 1>have reported an increase in rabies exposures and outbreaks. The

0:00:24.370 --> 0:00:27.490
<v Speaker 1>federal agency explained rabies is preventable when people who have

0:00:27.510 --> 0:00:31.390
<v Speaker 1>been exposed receive the correct vaccine administration before symptoms appear.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.019
<v Speaker 1>Health officials are urging doctors to carefully assess each case

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.339
<v Speaker 1>and follow the recommended guidelines. Anyone who has been bitten, scratched,

0:00:38.380 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>or exposed to an animal with rabies should contact a

0:00:41.260 --> 0:00:43.330
<v Speaker 1>health care provider immediately.
