Recommended Dose: 20 iu/kg (0.133 mL/kg) of body weight given preferably at the time of the 1st vaccine dose. It may also be given through the 7th day after the 1st dose of vaccine is given. If anatomically feasible, up to ½ the dose of HyperRab (Rabies Immune Globulin-Human) (SD Viral Inactivated) should be thoroughly infiltrated in the area around the wound and the rest should be administered IM in the gluteal area or lateral thigh muscle. Because of the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve, the central region of the gluteal area must be avoided; only the upper outer quadrant should be used. HyperRab (Rabies Immune Globulin-Human) (SD Viral Inactivated) should never be administered in the same syringe or needle or in the same anatomical site as vaccine.
