Verorab Vaccine is a purified, inactivated rabies vaccine developed using Vero cells. It is designed to protect individuals from rabies infection, whether before exposure (as a precaution) or after exposure (as an emergency measure following a bite or scratch from a potentially rabid animal).

Verorab Vaccine offers life-saving protection by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against the rabies virus. Verorab Vaccine is WHO-prequalified, safe, and effective, and is widely used worldwide in both adults and children. It can be given via intramuscular or intradermal routes and is suitable for various rabies risk levels, including travel, occupational exposure, or emergency cases.

Verorab Vaccine contains inactivated (killed) rabies virus antigen, which is mixed with a sterile diluent before use. Once injected intramuscularly (IM) or intradermally (ID), the antigen triggers an immune response without causing disease.

For post-exposure cases, Verorab is administered according to schedules like the Essen regimen (5-dose IM) or Zagreb regimen (4-dose IM), often alongside rabies immunoglobulin if the patient was never vaccinated before. In pre-exposure cases, a 3-dose schedule is commonly used.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Wounds will be cleaned and disinfected if present.
3. Vaccine will be reconstituted.
4. Injection will be administered.
5. Post-care instructions will be provided.
