Inoculation objects can be divided into two types:

1. Prevention after exposure (after bites and scratches).

2. Prevention before exposure (no bite or scratch).

Prevention after bite (after exposure). Any suspected contact with rabies virus, such as being bitten, scratched (even slightly scratched) by dogs, cats, foxes, wolves, skunks, raccoons, blood-sucking bats and other animals (including seemingly healthy animals), and damaged skin or mucous membranes licked by animals, must be vaccinated.

No bite (before exposure) prevention. Veterinarians in epidemic areas, animal husbandry managers, vaccine production enterprises, medical staff of rabies patients, cave workers, people who have frequent contact with other mammals, children in severe epidemic areas, postmen, tourists to epidemic areas and other workers with high risk of virus bites or contact are all vaccinated with rabies vaccine.

Extended data

Rabies vaccine is a vaccine with a long history. The earliest producer of rabies vaccine was Pasteur Company of France. 1882 successfully weakened the virulence of the virus by continuous passage, and made a vaccine with adaptive strains.

Domestic rabies vaccine is inoculated with rabies virus fixed virus in primary hamster kidney cells. After culture, the venom is harvested, concentrated, purified and refined, and aluminum hydroxide adjuvant is added. After comprehensive verification, it is a vaccine to prevent rabies.

There is only one serotype of rabies virus, and the nature of rabies virus antigen is the same all over the world. After vaccination with rabies vaccine, antibodies against rabies virus can appear in human blood, which can prevent the virus from spreading directly between cells, reduce the virus proliferation, and at the same time remove the free rabies virus, prevent the virus from breeding and spreading, thus preventing rabies.
