Why help protect your patients with Rabies Vaccine BP?

Rabies is an acute viral infection causing inflammation of the spinal cord and the brain1 that leads to the deaths of tens of thousands of people worldwide.2 In developing countries, where it is most often transmitted by stray dogs, rabies is still considered a major public health concern.2

Transmitted through the saliva of an infected mammal, usually via a bite, scratch of lick3 The incubation period for the disease is usually 1-3 months but can be anything from a week to 1 year.2

Vaccination may be considered for all travellers who will be living or visiting endemic areas especially if:3

  • visiting areas where access to post-exposure treatment and medical care is limited
  • they are planning higher risk activities such as cycling and running
  • they are planning to stay for more than one month

 

Rabies Vaccine BP can be used to help provide pre-exposure prophylaxis and also as post-exposure treatment.
