Coming soonRabies vaccination is an active immunization procedure indicated for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis against infection by the rabies lyssavirus.
Rabies is an acute, progressive zoonotic infection of the central nervous system transmitted through contact with infectious saliva or neural tissue, typically via animal bites or scratches.
Pathophysiologically, the neurotropic virus enters peripheral nerves, ascends via retrograde axoplasmic transport, and causes an acute encephalomyelitis characterized by autonomic dysfunction, agitation, hydrophobia, paralysis, and an almost invariably fatal outcome once clinical manifestations appear.
Vaccination targets individuals at high risk of exposure—such as veterinary workers, animal handlers, spelunkers, and travelers to endemic areas—as well as patients of any age who have experienced known or suspected exposure to the virus.
