Postexposure Prophylaxis Treatment Guidelines
Treating Rabies: Keeping Your Patients Safe
Left untreated, rabies has the highest fatality rate of any infectious disease, making rapid response essential.1
HyperRAB® (rabies immune globulin [human]), in conjunction with a vaccine, provides critical, comprehensive protection against rabies in previously unvaccinated persons. Rabies vaccine and HyperRAB should be given to all persons suspected of exposure to rabies, with one exception: persons who have been previously immunized with rabies vaccine and have confirmed adequate rabies antibody titer should receive only vaccine. HyperRAB should be administered as promptly as possible after exposure, but can be administered within 7 days after the first dose of rabies vaccine.2
