Top 10 General Considerations
in Rabies PEP
1. Wounds must be immediately washed/flushed for 15 minutes
and disinfected
2. Rabies PEP should be instituted immediately. PEP consists
of a course of potent, effective rabies vaccine that meets
WHO recommendations and administration of rabies
immunoglobulin
3. PEP must be applied using vaccine regimens and
administration routes that have been proven to be safe and
effective
4. PEP does not have contraindications if purified rabies
immunoglobulin and vaccine are used. Pregnancy and
infancy are not contraindications to PEP
5. If rabies immunoglobulin is not available on first visit, use
can be delayed by up to 7 days from the date of the first
vaccine dose
6. Initiation of PEP should not await the results of laboratory
diagnosis or be delayed by dog observation when rabies is
suspected
7. When suspect rabid animal contacts (excluding bats) occur
in areas free of carnivore-mediated rabies and where there is
adequate surveillance in place, PEP may not be required.
The decision must be based on expert risk assessment
8. Patients presenting for rabies PEP even months after having been
bitten should be treated as if the contact had recently occurred
9. PEP should be administered even if the suspect animal is not
available for testing or observation. However, vaccine and
immunoglobulin administration may be discontinued if the animal
involved: is a vaccinated dog (cat or ferret) that following observation
for 10 days, remains healthy or is humanely killed and declared
negative for rabies by a WHO prescribed laboratory test
10. In areas enzootic for (canine and wildlife) rabies, PEP should be
instituted immediately unless adequate laboratory surveillance and
data indicates that the species involved is not a vector of rabies

Wound Care
Regardless of the risk for rabies, bite wounds can cause serious injury such as nerve or tendon laceration and infection. Your doctor will determine the best way to care for your wound, and will also consider how to treat the wound for the best possible cosmetic results.

For many types of bite wounds, immediate gentle irrigation with water or a dilute water povidone-iodine solution has been shown to markedly decrease the risk of bacterial infection.

Wound cleansing is especially important in rabies prevention since, in animal studies, thorough wound cleansing alone without other postexposure prophylaxis has been shown to markedly reduce the likelihood of rabies.

You should receive a tetanus shot if you have not been immunized in ten years. Decisions regarding the use of antibiotics, and primary wound closure should be decided together with your doctor

Side effects are usually mild and go away in a few days. They may include:

Pain, swelling, or redness where the shot was given
Headache
Upset stomach
Stomach pain
Muscles aches
Dizziness
Less common side effects of the rabies vaccine include:

Hives (itchy spots on the skin)
Joint pain
Fever
Serious side effects from the rabies vaccine are very rare.

Like any medicine, there's a very small chance that the rabies vaccine could cause a serious reaction. Keep in mind that getting the rabies vaccine is much safer than getting rabies.

Some people should not get the rabies vaccine — or may need to wait to get it. Be sure to tell your doctor before getting vaccinated if you:

Have had an allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine in the past
Have other severe allergies
Have HIV/AIDS
Have cancer
Are taking medicines that can affect your immune system
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
If you’ve already come in contact with rabies — like if you’ve been bitten by an animal that could have rabies — you’ll need to get the vaccine even if you have any of these conditions.

The importance of vaccinating your pet
While wildlife are much more likely to be rabid than are domestic animals in the United States, people have much more contact with domestic animals than with wildlife. Your pets and other domestic animals can be infected when they are bitten by rabid wild animals, and this type of “spillover” increases the risk to people.

Keeping your pets up to date on their rabies vaccination will prevent them from acquiring the disease from wildlife, and thereby prevent possible transmission to your family or other people.

There are several things you can do to protect your pet from rabies.

First, visit your veterinarian with your pet on a regular basis and keep rabies vaccinations up-to-date for all cats, ferrets, and dogs.

Second, maintain control of your pets by keeping cats and ferrets indoors and keeping dogs under direct supervision.

Third, spay or neuter your pets to help reduce the number of unwanted pets that may not be properly cared for or vaccinated regularly.

Finally, call animal control to remove all stray animals from your neighborhood since these animals may be unvaccinated or ill.

Nonbite
The contamination of open wounds, abrasions, mucous membranes, or theoretically, scratches (potentially contaminated with infectious material from a rabid animal) constitutes a nonbite exposure.

Nonbite exposures from terrestrial animals rarely cause rabies. However, occasional reports of rabies transmission by nonbite exposures suggest that such exposures should be evaluated for possible postexposure prophylaxis administration.

Other contact by itself, such as petting a rabid animal and contact with blood, urine, or f***s of a rabid animal, does not constitute an exposure and is not an indication for postexposure vaccination.

Bite
Any pe*******on of the skin by teeth constitutes a bite exposure. All bites, regardless of body site, represent a potential risk of rabies transmission, but that risk varies with the species of biting animal, the anatomic site of the bite, and the severity of the wound.

Bites by some animals, such as bats, can inflict minor injury and thus be difficult to detect.

Was the bite from a provoked or an unprovoked attack? Bites inflicted on a person attempting to feed or handle an apparently healthy animal should generally be regarded as provoked. If it was an unprovoked attack, that’s more likely to indicate that the animal is rabid.
