Indication Dosage

The rabies vaccine is given to prevent rabies, a serious and deadly disease caused by a virus that can be transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. It is recommended for people who may have been exposed to rabies or those at high risk of coming into contact with rabid animals, such as veterinarians, animal handlers, or travelers to regions where rabies is prevalent.
