What Experts Say

Verorab contains an inactivated rabies virus grown on Vero cells, which trains the immune system to make protective antibodies.

It is given as a course of injections in a clinic or hospital, and the exact schedule depends on whether it is for prevention before exposure or treatment after a bite.

Treatment must start as soon as possible after a bite, and severe wounds may also need rabies immunoglobulin along with the vaccine course.
