Introduction to Sure Rab Vaccine
Sure rab vaccines contain the active component of inactivated rabies virus (rabies virus that has been killed), which belongs to the class of medicines called vaccines. It is used as a preventative measure against rabies before or after exposure to the virus (pre-exposure prophylaxis or post-exposure prophylaxis). Rabies infection spreads when a person is bitten, scratched, or licked by an infected animal, especially when the skin is already injured. Rabies is a serious and often fatal viral condition that can cause severe neurological symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle weakness, and paralysis.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the vaccines or its components. However, there are no absolute contraindications after exposure to rabies. Consult your doctor about the prescribed and non-prescribed medication (corticosteroids or immunosuppressive) before using the vaccine. Consult your doctor if you have had any underlying acute illness before receiving Sure rab vaccine. Pediatric patients require special consideration as it can be given in the thigh muscle, whereas, for elderly people, it can be given in the upper arm (deltoid).
