Abstract: Currently, rabies is registered in more than 160 countries around the world, which kills about 60 thousand people annually who had contact with both wild and domestic animals [1]. Rabies poses a huge threat, and according to WHO estimates, for the population environmental damage; among infectious diseases, rabies ranks 5th [2]. It is estimated that more than 70,000 people worldwide die from this disease every year and millions require post-exposure treatment [3]. Today, the only way to prevent the disease and subsequent death is the timely administration of an anti-rabies vaccine to the bitten person [4]. The ongoing training exercises are a necessary component when checking the anti-epizootic action plan, and are aimed at identifying and eliminating shortcomings, as well as making adjustments to improve the implementation of the epizootic examination [5]
