Man, 47, dies of rabies despite vaccination after stray dog bite in Chennai

Doctors suspect improper vaccine storage or delayed initial treatment as potential factors. While Chennai sees approximately 30,000 dog bite cases annually, the Greater Chennai Corporation lacks comprehensive awareness campaigns.
