Anti-rabies Vaccine

Rabies vaccines are administered to prevent rabies if they have been bitten by a rabies-infected animal or exposed to the rabies virus. After being exposed to the virus, the CDC recommends four doses of 1 ml vaccinations intramuscularly on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. After exposure, in previously immunized individuals, two doses of 1 ml vaccinations on days 0 and 3 are recommended. For adults, before exposure, vaccines should be administered intramuscularly on days 0, 7, 21, or 28.
