What you actually get
We treat subscriber attention as a finite resource. Every email exists because at least one of the four things below applies right now — otherwise, no email that month.
Guideline change summaries
When the CDC, WHO, or major state health departments update their rabies vaccination, PEP, or PrEP guidance, we send a one-page summary of what changed, who it affects, and what to ask your clinician.
Seasonal prevention reminders
Bat activity peaks in summer, raccoon and skunk activity changes through the year, and pet-vaccination boosters fall due on predictable cycles. We send timely reminders for each.
New tools and guides first
Subscribers get early access to new clinic-finder data, state law pages, risk-assessment tools, and printable guides before they go live on the site.
Who this newsletter is for
The SafeRabies newsletter is written for three audiences. Most subscribers fall into one of these groups, and the editorial calendar is balanced so every email is useful to at least two of them.
- Pet owners who want straightforward reminders about booster timing, what to do if their pet tangles with a bat or stray, and how state and local vaccination laws affect them.
- Travelers and outdoor workers who need pre-exposure vaccine guidance, country-by-country risk notes, and a heads-up about route or destination changes when WHO updates its rabies risk classifications.
- Clinicians, vets, and public-health staff who want a low-noise summary of CDC and WHO guidance changes so they can decide whether to update practice protocols, school nurse policies, or county vaccination programs.
Frequently asked questions
How often will you email me?
No more than once a month for the regular update, plus rare urgent alerts when there is an active rabies outbreak that affects a large area or a meaningful change in CDC or WHO guidance. Most months you will get one email.
What kind of content will I receive?
Three things: outbreak and exposure alerts for the US, plain-language summaries of CDC and WHO guideline updates, and seasonal prevention reminders such as bat-season warnings and pet-booster timing. Every email links back to the underlying source so you can verify and read deeper.
Is this medical advice?
No. The newsletter is educational. It is reviewed against current CDC and WHO sources before sending, but it does not replace evaluation by a licensed clinician. If you have just been bitten or scratched, do not wait for an email — contact your nearest emergency room, urgent-care clinic, or public-health department right away.
How do you use my email address?
We use it only to send the newsletter you signed up for and to confirm your subscription. We do not sell, rent, or trade your address. Full details are in our privacy policy.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer. You can also email privacy@saferabies.com and we will remove you within two business days.
Can clinicians and public-health staff subscribe?
Yes. Many of our subscribers are vets, infectious-disease physicians, school nurses, and county public-health staff. If you would like a separate professional-only digest with citations and links to primary literature, mention it in the signup notes or email editorial@saferabies.com.
