KLANG: Sarawak's approach in controlling a local rabies outbreak should be emulated by Perak, says former Zoo Negara assistant director Assoc Prof Datuk Dr S. Vellayan.

"They are vaccinating all the dogs in and around the (Serian) area and this is the right method to manage an outbreak,'' added Dr Vellayan, who is now with Universiti Teknologi Mara's Puncak Alam campus.
