By using a rabies vaccine and human rabies immune globulin (hRIG) soon after exposure, patients are protected from the fatal disease.
Although a theoretical risk exists for adverse effects from rabies immune globulin and killed rabies virus vaccines, several studies assessing the safety of this treatment have failed to identify these risks (3-6).
Treatment includes an immediate rabies immune globulin shot, in addition to five additional vaccine shots in the arm over the following four weeks.
