Hello I was bite by a dog in cambodia and was being treated with the vaccine verorab, I have completed 3 shots of verorab, I now am in thailand and have to get my fourth shot, the only vaccine they have is rabipur, is this okay to take, is verorab and rabipur basically the same vaccine
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Verorab is a purified very cell vaccine (PVCV), which is used in animal bite cases, it is a lyophilized vaccine and come in a dose of 0.5 ml. Rabipur is a purified chick cell vaccine (PCEC), which is used in animal bite cases, it is a lyophilized vaccine and come in a dose of 1 ml. Both the vaccines is given by intramuscular route to the shoulder region. As for as possible you should not interchange vaccine. If there is no option you can interchange the vaccines and the studies have shown that both the vaccines are effective in inducing the protective antibody titles. So I would advise taking Raipur in place of Verona, which will helps you to induce the antibody titles. Thank you.
