Inactivated rabies vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rabies. It is injected to stimulate the body's immune system to produce protective antibodies against the rabies virus. In Hong Kong, inactivated vaccine is one of the main means of preventing rabies. Vaccination is usually given after exposure to rabies virus to prevent viral infection and progression to disease. Vaccines usually require multiple doses to establish sufficient immune protection, and there may be mild local reactions or general discomfort after vaccination. These reactions are usually temporary.
Vaccination with an inactivated rabies vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect individuals from the threat of rabies. Before vaccination, you should consult your doctor for personalized advice and to learn about possible side effects and precautions. If you develop any unusual symptoms or reactions after vaccination, you should seek help from a medical professional promptly.
How to use: Inactivated rabies vaccine usually needs to be injected under the guidance of a medical professional. The injection site may be in the arm or thigh. It is usually recommended to observe a period of time after the injection to ensure there are no adverse reactions. While receiving the vaccine, you should avoid eating or drinking any food or drink that may affect your immune response.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adults and children is generally similar, approximately 1 ml. After the first dose, multiple doses of the vaccine may be needed within a specified time period to ensure effectiveness. Dosage adjustments depend on the vaccination schedule and the individual's immune status. For children, dosage may vary based on age and weight and will be adjusted by a medical professional on a case-by-case basis. In any case, the advice and instructions of medical professionals should be strictly followed to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine.
Inactivated rabies vaccine may cause minor side effects, including redness, swelling, pain, or warmth at the injection site. A small number of people may experience headache, muscle pain, feeling tired, or loss of appetite. Serious allergic reactions, although rare, may occur, including difficulty breathing, hives, or throat swelling. If a severe allergic reaction occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Please observe your physical condition closely after vaccination, and seek help from your doctor promptly if you experience any discomfort or abnormal reactions.
Please note that there are some contraindications to watch out for for inactivated rabies vaccines. First, rabies vaccines should be avoided in people with a known allergy to any ingredient in the vaccine. Second, the vaccine should also be prohibited for people who have had a severe allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine. If the patient has a severely immunosuppressed state, such as AIDS, or is receiving immunosuppressive therapy, rabies vaccination should be carefully considered. Additionally, rabies vaccination is generally not recommended for pregnant women unless a medical professional determines that the risk is less than the risk of infection. Finally, in patients with acute severe illness, it is recommended to postpone rabies vaccination until their condition is stable. In summary, before receiving the rabies vaccine, you should consult a medical professional to ensure that you are suitable for the vaccine to avoid possible adverse reactions.
Inactivated rabies vaccine is used to prevent rabies. You may experience mild discomfort after vaccination, such as local redness, swelling or pain. Please follow the instructions of the medical staff and ensure that there is no allergic reaction before vaccination. If you have any discomfort or questions, please consult your doctor immediately.
