        "summary": "Jembrana Regency is facing a concerning rabies situation with approximately 500 dog bite incidents reported monthly, prompting the local Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Service to launch the 2026 Rabies Vaccination Campaign targeting sub-districts Mendoyo and Melaya. From January to 13 April 2026, 21 confirmed rabies-positive bites have been recorded across five sub-districts, underscoring the urgency for herd immunity through an ambitious 80% vaccination coverage of the estimated 40,400 dogs in the area. Supported by provincial supplies and additional local budget allocations, the initiative ensures sufficient vaccine stocks to protect public health amid declining but still significant animal populations.",

In response to this\nsituation, the Jembrana Regency Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Service\nhas officially launched the 2026 Rabies Vaccination Campaign. This\ninaugural mass vaccination activity targets two areas simultaneously,\nnamely Mendoyo Sub-district and Melaya Sub-district. \u201cFor the 2026\nrabies vaccination campaign, today we have carried it out in two\nsub-districts, namely Mendoyo and Melaya,\u201d stated the Head of Animal\nHealth and Public Veterinary Health (Keswan-Kesmavet) of Jembrana, I\nGusti Ngurah Putu Sugiarta, when confirmed by detikBali on Monday\n(13\/4\/2026). Sugiarta explained that the current rabies situation in\nJembrana requires serious handling. From January to 13 April 2026, there\nhave already been 21 confirmed positive rabies dog bite cases. These\ncases are evenly distributed across the five sub-districts in Jembrana.\nIn efforts to build herd immunity, the government has set a high target\nfor vaccination coverage this year. \u201cIn handling this, we are targeting\na minimum mass vaccination coverage of 80 percent of the total dog\npopulation this year,\u201d said Sugiarta. The field implementation of\nvaccination is divided into several teams. In Mendoyo Sub-district, the\nvaccination process started from Pohsanten Village involving a private\nteam (A-Team). Meanwhile, in Melaya Sub-district, the activity was\ncarried out by the regular government team targeting Candikusuma Village\nand Moding Village. Based on the latest estimation data, the dog\npopulation in Jembrana in 2026 is projected to reach 40,400 heads,\nslightly decreasing compared to 2025 which reached 41,625 heads.\nRegarding logistics availability, residents need not worry. Sugiarta\nassured that the current rabies vaccine stock is still sufficient to\nmeet community needs. \u201cCurrently, the stock in Jembrana Regency reaches\naround 12,400 doses. The vaccine needs have been handled by the\nprovincial government, so they are deemed sufficient for this year\u2019s\nimplementation,\u201d said Sugiarta. In addition to support from the\nprovince, Jembrana also receives additional support from the regional\nbudget. \u201cOperational support is also obtained from APBD II which\nprovides around 5,000 additional vaccine doses,\u201d Sugiarta concluded.<\/p>",
