Vaxirab N Vaccine

Vaxirab N Vaccine contains inactivated rabies virus as its active component and belongs to the class of vaccines. It is used for prevention of rabies before or after exposure to the virus, as pre-exposure prophylaxis or post-exposure prophylaxis. Rabies infection spreads when a person is bitten, scratched, or licked by an infected animal, particularly when the skin is already injured. Rabies is a serious viral disease that is often fatal and can cause severe neurological symptoms including fever, headache, muscle weakness, and paralysis. Once symptoms develop, the disease is almost always fatal. Although rabies infection is 100% fatal, it is 100% preventable with timely measures and correct use of available vaccines, immunoglobulins, or monoclonal antibodies. Vaxirab N Vaccine is not recommended if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have high fever or any underlying acute illness before receiving Vaxirab N Vaccine. In paediatric patients the vaccine can be administered in the thigh muscle, whereas in elderly patients it can be given in the upper arm.
