    		Dr. Ernest S. Tierkel (1917-1981) was a world renowned epidemiologist in the crusade to eradicate rabies from all continents. His life-long work in implementing vaccines and programs would eliminate rabies as a major public health concern in the United States. His work was then spread through the World Health Organization (WHO) to the rest of the world. Indeed Dr. Tierkel came to be known as “Dr. Rabies”.
