Rabipur PCEC Rabies vaccine (inactive) 2.5IU/1ml vial powder and solvent for suspension for injection pre-filled syringe POM X1

What Rabipur is

Rabipur is a vaccine containing rabies virus that has been killed. After administration of the vaccine, the immune system (the body’s natural defence system) forms antibodies to rabies viruses. These antibodies protect from infections or diseases by the virus that causes rabies. None of the components of the vaccine can cause rabies.

What is Rabipur used for?

Rabipur can be used in individuals of all ages. Rabipur can be used to prevent Rabies:

-before possible risk of exposure to the rabies virus (pre-exposure prophylais). or

-after suspected or proven exposure to rabies virus (post-exposure prophylaxis).

Rabies is an infection that can be transmitted when a person is bitten, scratched or even just licked by an infected animal, particularly when the skin is already injured. Even contact with animal traps that were licked or bitten by infected animals can cause infections in humans.
