The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently harmonized the schedule for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of rabies vaccination to provide the same schedule for children as adults.
In February, the ACIP recommended a two-dose intramuscular (IM) rabies vaccine series—given on days 0 and 7—in immunocompetent people 18 years of age and older for whom rabies PrEP is indicated.
