Rabies Vaccine

The rabies vaccine is a vaccine that is administered to prevent rabies, a deadly viral infection that affects the central nervous system. Rabies is typically transmitted to humans through the saliva of infected animals, most commonly through bites and scratches. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, so vaccination is crucial for individuals who may be at risk of exposure to the virus, such as veterinarians, animal handlers, travelers to regions with high rabies prevalence, and individuals who have been bitten or scratched by animals suspected of carrying rabies.
