Abstract:
40 out of 50 subjects bitten by dog/cat were injected completely 4- 6 doses of rabies vaccine. Using ELISA, the authors found that 42.5% of serum samples that taken after injecting 4 doses of rabies vaccine had antibody titer 0.5IU/ml, met the WHO’s minimum requirement. The GMT was 2.71IU/ml. 62.5% of serum samples taken after injecting 6 doses of rabies vaccine had antibody titer 0.5IU/ml. The GMT was 3.14EU/ml
