Provincial officials have confirmed a case of rabies in a bat found in the Trinity Bay area. While public health risk remains low, authorities are urging caution and pet vaccinations.

A rare rabies fatality in Ontario highlights the critical importance of post-exposure prophylaxis, as bat bites can often go unnoticed.

An 11-year-old boy died of rabies after a bat encounter in Ontario, the first locally acquired human rabies instance recorded in the province since 1967.
