PROTOCOL FOR RABIES POSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS

The decision to administer rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is based on several factors related to the potential exposure to rabies virus. These factors include the type of exposure (i.e. bite or nonbite), the species of animal involved, if the bite was provoked, and the epidemiology of rabies in a specific geographic area. ................
