Query regarding PEP for anti rabies

2022-01-01 20:49:36
On CDC site it was mentioned that now the new revised PEP for anti rabies is for 4 Intra muscular doses given on days 0,3,7,14 for healthy individuals as the fifth dose was not found to increase antibody levels. Also on WHO site the PEP schedule was given as on 0,3,7 and fourth dose between 14-28 (4 dose Essen 1-1-1-1-0). But for immunocompromised persons still 5 doses were prescribed. Is this valid for vaccines available in India as well like Chiron Purified Chick Embryo or the Vero cell cultured vaccines like Verorab?
