Professional groups and rabies awareness, risks and prevention
Veterinary and medical practitioners, animal welfare personnel, zoologists and animal conservationists, laboratory staff are some of the groups which must absolutely be aware of the nature of the risk, modes of transmission and prevention of rabies.
Professionals, who are likely to be exposed to the live rabies virus through their work should receive pre-exposure vaccination. This include veterinarians, veterinary technicians working in rabies infected areas, particularly those directly involved in mass vaccination campaigns of dogs and wildlife and laboratory personnel handling suspect samples, animals and live rabies viruses.
Performing unprotected necropsies or autopsies involves a particularly high risk. The use of mask, gloves and a gown as well as glasses when examining and handling a rabies suspected (human or animal) patient and conducting necropsies/autopsies is mandatory. This should protect staff from droplet infection to face and eyes, sites at greatest if not only risk.

Immediate washing/flushing and disinfection of the wound plus rapid
administration of purified immunoglobulin and vaccine
according to the modalities described in these guidelines assure
prevention of infection in almost all circumstances
General considerations in rabies PEP
9
World Health Organization – Department of Neglected Tropical Diseases – Neglected Zoonotic Diseases team(revised 15 June 2010)
Post-exposure prophylaxis may be discontinued if the animal involved is a dog or cat that remains
healthy for an observation period of 10 days after the exposure occurred; or if the animal is humanely
killed and proven to be negative for rabies by a reliable diagnostic laboratory using a prescribed test.
If the animal at the origin of exposure is suspected of being rabid and is not apprehended, PEP should
be instituted immediately.
initiation of PEP should not await the results of veterinary laboratory diagnosis or be delayed by dog
observation when rabies is suspected,
In areas where canine or wildlife rabies is enzootic, adequate laboratory surveillance is in place, and
data from laboratory and field experience indicate that there is no infection in the species involved,
local health authorities may not recommend anti-rabies prophylaxis.
Discontinuing or deferring PEP: must be an exception in rabies endemic countries
or areas!
Animal-related considerations in PEP

Category I : -touching, feeding of animals or licks on intact skin
no exposure therefore no prophylaxis if history reliable
Rabies PEP modalities
Category III: -single or multiple transdermal bites or scratches, licks on broken skin, contamination of mucous membrane with saliva (i.e. licks) and suspect contacts with bats:
use immunoglobulin plus vaccine
Category II: -minor scratches or abrasions without bleeding or and nibbling of uncovered skin
use vaccine alone
Definition of categories of contact and use of rabies biologicals:

Infiltrate into the depth of the wound and around the wound
as much as anatomically feasible of the RIG should be infiltrated around the wound
remainder if any should be injected at an intramuscular site distant from that of vaccine inoculation e.g. into the anterior thigh
Quantities/volume of RIG: 20IU/ kg for Human RIG (HRIG) or 40 IU/ kg of Equine RIG (ERIG)
Rabies PEP modalities
Administration of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG)wounds infiltration with RIG is of upmost importance in category 3 exposure management

as an alternative vaccine dose on day 28 can be omitted in fully immuno-competent patients when immunoglobulin has been also applied on day 0 or within a week after first vaccine dose administration
Vaccines should not be injected into the gluteal region;
Intramuscular regimens for rabies PEP
Two intramuscular schedules for category 2 and 3 exposures:
5 doses im on days 0-3-7-14-28
4 doses im on days 0x2-7-21
13
World Health Organization – Department of Neglected Tropical Diseases – Neglected Zoonotic Diseases team(revised 15 June 2010)
One intradermal PEP regimen for category 2 and 3 exposures
2-site intradermal method ('2-2-2-0-2' )
The volume per intradermal site is 0,1 mL for both PVRV (VerorabTM) and PCECV (Rabipur™)
Intradermal injections reduce
the volume of vaccine required
and vaccine cost by 60% to
80%

Pre-exposure rabies vaccination
Groups of persons at high risk of exposure to live rabies virus (laboratory staff, veterinarians, animal handlers and wildlife officers)
Children in highly endemic areas may be considered if vaccine quantities for PEP are adequate
Regimen (with vaccines fulfilling WHO requirements)
three doses of vaccine on days 0, 7 and 28
A dose is either 1 standard intramuscular dose (0.5 or 1 mL) or 0.1mL intradermally
Site of injection: deltoid area of the arm for adults; anterolateral area of the thigh acceptable for children
If antimalarial chemoprophylaxis is applied concurrently, intramuscular injections are preferable to intradermal

Local treatment of wound
no RIG should be applied
Two PEP schedules (with vaccines fulfilling WHO requirements)
one dose on days 0 and 3. The dose is either 1 standard intra muscular dose (which may be 1 ml or 0.5 ml depending on vaccine type ) or one intradermal dose of 0.1 ml per site
or as an alternative a 4-site (one visit only) intradermal PEP consisting of 4 injections of 0.1 mL distributed on each arm and thigh or suprascapular region on days 0.
Decision to use one or the other is left with the health care provider in consultation with the patient.
However full PEP should be given to persons :
who received pre-or post-exposure prophylaxis with vaccines of unproven potency or
in patients in whom immunological memory is not longer assured as a result of HIV/AIDS or other immunosuppressive causes

World Health Organization – Department of Neglected Tropical Diseases – Neglected Zoonotic Diseases team(revised 15 June 2010)
Persons working with live rabies virus in diagnostic laboratories, research laboratories, vaccine production laboratories and others professions (veterinarians, animal handlers, wildlife officers...) at permanent risk of exposure to rabies should have:
one serum sample taken every six months
a booster dose when the titre falls below 0.5 IU/ml
Routine booster vaccine doses after primary rabies vaccination are not required for the general public living in
areas of risk.

Cost of PEP and cost of vaccinating dogs
1 full PEP including RIG + associated patient transport costs and income loss, will cost the average patient around $100 ($93 in Africa and $106 in Asia).
Cost of vaccinating one dog in a mass vaccination campaign is around $2 (with $ 0.30 worth of vaccine)
Cost of 1 full PEP is equivalent to that of vaccinating 50 dogs
On average 2000 PEP are needed per million inhabitants per annum and there are on average 100 000 dogs per million people
But effective dog rabies control with good surveillance leads to reduction in PEP and related costs over time and eventual savings when elimination is reached (5 to 10 years horizon).
Because PEP is required resources used to pay for PEP cannot be transferred to dog rabies control
Other sources of funding need to be found.
Costs of dog vaccination = cost of PEP per million people pa
