Rabies Vaccine

Rabies vaccine is a shot to help prevent a disease that is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. Rabies vaccines are typically given to animals that have been bitten by a rabid animal, but some people also get the vaccine when they are around animals that are considered high-risk for contracting rabies. Rabies vaccine is a medical treatment that protects a person from rabies. Rabies vaccine can be given in the form of a shot or an oral vaccine. Rabies vaccine is a combination of killed or inactivated viruses that stimulate the immune system to create antibodies. The antibodies attach to the virus and prevent it from infecting cells. Rabies vaccine does not provide immediate protection against rabies, but is effective at preventing infection.
