What is Imovax Rabies?

Imovax Rabies is a brand-name rabies vaccine administered either before or after a person has been exposed to the rabies virus through an unprovoked bite by an animal. The active ingredients are inactivated rabies virus particles harvested from human cells. The virus particles are inactivated by a chemical and are unable to produce a rabies infection. They do, however, provoke an immune response and stimulate the production of antibodies, making the body able to defend against rabies infections.

Imovax Rabies is administered before or shortly after exposure to the rabies virus. For pre-exposure patients, Imovax Rabies is injected in three doses over a month by a healthcare professional to patients who are at risk of being exposed to rabies. A booster shot may be injected later. For post-exposure patients, Imovax Rabies is injected in a series of five shots over the course of a month, on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.

What are the side effects of Imovax Rabies?

Although not a complete list, common side effects of Imovax Rabies include, but are not limited to, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, “feeling bad,” joint pain, and nerve pain. Site reactions to the injection are common and include redness, pain, and a lump at the needle site. Injection site reactions will go away after one or two days. Allergic reactions are very rare and include rash, itching, and swelling at the injection site. Imovax Rabies can cause severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Without treatment, rabies is a 100% fatal infection. The only treatment for rabies involves an immediate injection of antibodies and a series of vaccinations, so discontinuing vaccinations will result in death. Side effects, even severe ones, will be managed by other medications. Allergic reactions are a dilemma. The physician must weigh the risk of allergic reactions with the risk of dying from rabies.
