Verorab Indications/Uses

VERORAB is indicated for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies in all age groups (see Dosage & Administration and Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
Verorab should be used according to official recommendations.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis should be offered to subjects at high risk of contamination by the rabies virus.
All those at permanent risk, such as the personnel of diagnostic, research or production laboratories working on the rabies virus, should be vaccinated.
Vaccination is also recommended for the following categories: chiropterologists and people regularly exposed to the bat rabies virus; exposed professionals (veterinary personnel, laboratory personnel handling equipment that is contaminated or likely to be contaminated, slaughterhouse butchers, pound personnel, naturalists, taxidermists, gamekeepers, forest rangers, slaughterhouse personnel); adults and children living in or travelling to enzootic areas.
Booster doses are determined based on the risk of exposure and on serological tests in accordance with official recommendations.
