Can you get rabies in Belgium?

I saw videos of rabies (rabies) and am now very afraid of it.

Answer

In our country you are safe in that regard! Belgium has been officially rabies free since 2001. Two more cases were identified in 2007-2008 as a result of illegally importing an infected dog from Morocco.
