Pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies in humans and animals. Commonly used in veterinary vaccination programs and wildlife oral vaccination campaigns to control rabies in wild animal populations.
The vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the rabies virus by introducing an attenuated (weakened) form of the virus. The Flury-Lep strain has been modified through serial egg passage to reduce virulence while maintaining immunogenicity.
This is a prophylactic vaccine, not a treatment. Post-exposure vaccination typically requires multiple doses in conjunction with rabies immune globulin. Contraindications include severe allergic reactions to vaccine components. Storage and handling follow specific cold chain requirements to maintain vaccine potency.
