The zero by 30 initiative aims to eliminate dog-mediated human rabies by 2030, for which dog vaccination is a crucial pillar. This study piloted four different dog vaccination campaign strategies in Kyegegwa, a rural district in Uganda, where rabies is endemic, and compared the vaccination coverages achieved by the strategies.
