What happened

In October 27, 2022 the “Institut Pasteur” confirmed a case of Rabies in a Husky cross-type dog detained in a refuge in Évry-Courcouronnes in Essonne.

The animal bit several people who were quickly taken care of by the rabies center of the “Institute Pasteur”, which administered a very effective post-exposure prophylactic treatment. The other people identified as having been exposed to the animal have been contacted by the ARS Ile-de-France and are also directed, if their exposure requires it, to a consultation in an anti-rabies center.
