- Rabies: Prevents a deadly viral infection of the nervous system, usually spread through the bite, scratch, or lick of an infected animal (commonly dogs, cats, bats, and other mammals).
- Brain and nerve protection: Once rabies symptoms start, it is almost always fatal—vaccination is the proven way to stop the virus before it reaches the brain Why it’s essential
- Emergency-level protection: Like treating a deep wound quickly, rabies prevention is urgent after any animal bite or suspicious exposure.
- Peace of mind: Important for pet owners, vets, animal handlers, travelers, and parents—because kids may not mention small scratches or “play bites.”
Doses & route Route: Injection (usually in the upper arm/deltoid for adults and older children).
Schedule:
- Pre-exposure (before any bite): 3 doses for people at higher risk (e.g., vets, frequent travelers, animal handlers).
- Post-exposure (after a bite/scratch/lick on broken skin): Start immediately. Usually a series of 4 doses (sometimes 5 depending on immune status), and may include Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) for people who were not vaccinated before.
Ideal for Pet owners, children, hikers, vets/animal workers, security personnel, and travelers—especially in areas where rabies exists.
