Caso de rabia en zoológico itinerante de Carolina del Norte impulsa vacunación de padres

Una madre en Lexington, Carolina del Norte, informó que las autoridades sanitarias le advirtieron que los cabritillos de un zoológico itinerante dieron positivo por rabia, lo que la llevó a instar a otros padres a vacunarse. A principios de agosto, el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Davidson confirmó que cuatro cabritillos estaban infectados, emitió una alerta pública y puso en marcha un centro de llamadas para evaluar riesgos. Las autoridades también pusieron en cuarentena a los animales y aconsejaron a cualquier persona que los hubiera manipulado entre finales de julio y finales de agosto que recibiera tratamiento post-exposición, afectando a cerca de 300 visitantes.
