FAQs

Q. How does rabies spread?

The rabies virus is transmitted in the saliva of infected animals. People usually become infected with the virus if they get bitten by an infected animal. However, any contact with the saliva of an infected animal (alive or dead) can potentially lead to rabies infection if the person has an opening in the skin or the saliva gets into their eyes, nose or mouth.

Q. Is rabies preventable?

Rabies is a 100% preventable disease. Proper wound management and simultaneous administration of Sure Rab Vaccine combined with rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) is considered invariably effective in preventing rabies, even after high-risk exposure.

Q. What are the symptoms of rabies?

The rabies virus attacks the nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The first symptoms of rabies are similar to a flu-like illness which can be identified as fever, headache and general discomfort. Within days, the disease can progress to symptoms such as anxiety, confusion, agitation, abnormal behavior, delirium and hallucinations.

Rabies vaccine is recommended for persons in high-risk occupational groups, such as veterinarians and their staff, animal handlers, rabies researchers and certain laboratory workers.

Q. Can a pregnant woman receive Sure Rab Vaccine if exposed to rabies?

Yes, Sure Rab Vaccine can be taken by a pregnant woman. Cases of any fetal abnormalities in pregnant women have not been reported with the use of Sure Rab Vaccine. The doctor may even suggest routine pre-exposure vaccination against rabies if the risk of exposure is high.

Q. What are the side effects of Sure Rab Vaccine?
