Dosing directions from the manufacturer:
-
Prevention of rabies BEFORE potential exposure to the rabies virus
- Primary series: The typical dosing schedule is 1 injection on day 0, day 7, and either day 21 or day 28.
- Booster series: The typical dose is 1 injection as needed. The need for a booster shot depends on your risk of exposure to the rabies virus and the levels of the rabies antibodies in your body.
-
Prevention of rabies AFTER exposure to the rabies virus
- Previously unvaccinated or partially vaccinated with Imovax: The typical dosing schedule is 1 injection on day 0 (right after exposure), day 3, day 7, day 14, and day 28. Imovax is usually given together with human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) on day 0.
- Previously fully vaccinated with Imovax: The typical dosing schedule is 1 injection on day 0 (right after exposure) and day 3. These people don't need human rabies immune globulin.
Please note: Your healthcare professional might suggest a different dosing schedule for Imovax following the CDC's recommendation. The CDC's recommendations can differ from the manufacturer's guidance. Talk to your HCP if you have more questions about the dosing schedule for this vaccine.
