Rabies mass vaccination campaigns in Tunisia: are vaccinated dogs correctly immunized?

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1999
Among the 301 dogs vaccinated against rabies in a suburban area of Tunis, 165 were sero-surveyed for 13 months. One month after vaccination, 65% of the dogs less than 1 year of age and 76-84% of the older dogs had significant antibody titers. One month after annual revaccination, these percentages ranged between 92% and 100%.
