Hi, Myself Abhisek. I ve taking VAXIRAB N for dog bite , successively in 0,3,7 days gap. In my next immunization date , means after 14 days from first (Fourth Dose) , he injected me a Rabipur vaccine, because at that time there has no availability of Vaxirab N . I m little bit worried that is there any problem occurs for mixing both ??? Please help me
Hi & Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your situation.There's no problem in substituting Raipur with Taxicab. Both Taxicab which is a purified duck embryo vaccine (PEV) and Raipur, a purified chick embryo cell vaccine (PCEC) are inactivated rabies virus vaccines. Both are safe and effective in preventing rabies since both of them are able to produce antibodies in the body in response to vaccine, so you will get the beneficial effects (protection against rabies) by the way you have taken both the vaccines on different days. Now as per schedule, you should take the last dose on 28th day. Best regards.
