title: Rabies prevention in Hawaii.
abstract: The scientific basis of Hawaii's public health rabies prevention program is discussed, as is a proposed minor modification offered to assist Hawaii residents who use guide dogs and who want to travel out of state. Hawaii's current quarantine program has successfully prevented the introduction of the disease. Alternative programs involve risks that are not easily evaluated.
