Pre-exposure rabies vaccination course for travellers visiting rabies-endemic countries, adventure travellers, and animal handlers.
Rabies is an almost 100% fatal viral infection of the central nervous system transmitted through the saliva of infected mammals (primarily dogs, bats, monkeys, and cats) via bites, scratches, or licks on broken skin. Once clinical symptoms develop, rabies is virtually incurable. Pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis (such as Rabipur) involves a course of inactivated cell-culture rabies vaccines. Pre-exposure vaccination simplifies post-exposure medical management if you are bitten abroad by eliminating the need for Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG)—a biological product that is extremely scarce and often counterfeit or unavailable in developing nations—and reducing the required post-exposure vaccine course from four doses to two.
