Abstract: Timor-Leste was rabies-free until March 2024. Since then, detections in dogs and human cases have occurred in a growing number of municipalities. Access to vaccines and rabies immunoglobulin needs to be increased by strengthening vaccine supply, integrating into routine immunization programmes and increasing awareness of the risk of rabies.
