Overview
- About 200 Piprauli residents received precautionary anti-rabies vaccines, with some officials reporting roughly 250 doses given.
- The raita was served at a December 23 funeral, and the buffalo whose milk was used died on December 26 after a suspected rabid dog bite.
- Clinics in Ujhani stayed open through the weekend to vaccinate anyone concerned and to provide counseling to residents.
- Authorities report no human illnesses in the village and emphasize that boiling or pasteurising milk inactivates the rabies virus.
- Key uncertainties persist as the buffalo was buried without a post-mortem and the stray dog believed to have bitten it has not been found.
