Back to Top Used according to the CDC's 1999 recommendations, RabAvert will prevent rabies. It is effective for both pre-exposure immunization and post-exposure treatment. The most commonly occurring adverse reactions are injection site reactions, such as injection site erythema, induration, and pain; flu-like symptoms, such as asthenia, fatigue, fever, headache, myalgia, and malaise; arthralgia, dizziness, lymphadenopathy, nausea, and rash. In very rare cases, neurological and neuroparalytical events have been reported in temporal association with administration of RabAvert History of anaphylaxis to the vaccine or any of the vaccine components constitutes a contraindication to pre-exposure vaccination with this vaccine. There is no contraindication to post-exposure immunization. Back to Top Who should be immunized against rabies?

To prevent deaths from rabies, the Health Department issues health alerts to the public about this invariably fatal disease and its prevention; offers annual clinics to ensure cat and dog immunizations; facilitates the testing of suspect animals; and provides immediate round-the-clock response and follow-up to every potential rabies incident in the County. In Westchester County, the law requires that all cats and dogs to receive rabies immunization. The Department now provides rabies vaccination vouchers to assist in having pets immunized.

RABIES What is rabies? IDPH Rabies Web site Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. The virus is present primarily in the saliva, brain tissue and spinal fluid of a rabid animal. What animals can get rabies? Rabies can affect all mammals. Since 1995 in the United States, more than 7,000 animals per yearmost of them wildhave been diagnosed as having the disease. The disease is found in all states except Hawaii, as well as in Canada, Mexico and most other countries around the world. In Illinois, 152 animals were diagnosed with rabies from 1999 through 200 4 . In wild animal species, rabies is more common in bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes, but the disease also has been found in deer and in large rodents, such as woodchucks. Cats, dogs and livestock can get rabies, too, if they are not vaccinated. Some animals, including chipmunks, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, rats and squirrels, rarely get rabies. Birds, fish, insects, lizards, snakes and turtles never get rabies. Most of the recent cases of human rabies that have occurred in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. In Illinois, rabid bats can be found anywhere. Awareness that bats can be a source of the rabies virus can help people protect themselves.

Rabies is an encephalitis, or brain disease, which is caused by the rabies virus. It is a fatal condition caused after being bitten by an infected animal, usually a rabid dog or a bat. There is a vaccination against the disease, but once symptoms of rabies have developed the condition is almost always fatal - and the few people who have survived have suffered serious long-term disabilities.

167. Rabies On The Rise rabies cases in animals increased dramatically between 1990 and 1993. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/996_rab.html

Rabies on the Rise by Audrey T. Hingley After years of decline in America, a form of viral encephalitis transmitted through infected animal saliva is on the rise. The life-threatening disease is rabies. According to John Krebs, a public health scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rabies cases in animals increased dramatically between 1990 and 1993. In 1990 there were 4,880 reported animal deaths from rabies; that figure jumped to 9,495 three years later. With treatment, human deaths from rabies are rare in the United States. One death in 1990, three deaths in 1991, one death in 1992, and three deaths in 1993 were recorded, with six people dying in 1994 and four in 1995 from the disease. Charles Rupprecht, V.M.D., Ph.D., chief of CDC's rabies section, says education is the key to preventing the disease. Rupprecht says only one inadequately treated person is known to have recovered completely from rabies and escaped death. "In 1970 Matthew Winkler was exposed [to rabies], treated [with postexposure vaccine], and because vaccines were not as good then, experienced a vaccine failure. He recovered despite the vaccine failure, which is a far different thing than catching the disease, [not being treated,] and recovering," he points out. "Some people question to this day whether that case meets all the criteria [of a human known to survive rabies without treatment]." Over the years, scientists have improved both the effectiveness and safety of human rabies vaccines, regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as biologics. Today's vaccines are highly effective and produce few side effects. They work by causing the immune system to produce antibodies that neutralize the rabies virus before it causes the disease. Unlike most vaccines, which are given before disease exposure occurs, rabies vaccine is usually administered after someone has been exposed to the disease. A preexposure vaccine series designed for people considered high-risk for exposure to rabiessuch as veterinarians, researchers, forest rangers, animal control officers, cave explorers, animal handlers, or those who spend time in countries where rabies is prevalentis also available.

Perhaps it was too many viewings of Old Yeller or the cautionary tales of my somewhat over-protective mother, but I grew up with an intense fear of dogs with frothing mouths. I remember once coming across a dog that looked like it was frothing at the mouth and running away, petrified, only to discover that it was actually just slobbering away in its usual prolific manner. The root of all this at times quite irrational fear was, of course, rabies (or hydrophobia, as it is sometimes known). Rabies is an acute infectious viral disease which attacks the central nervous system and which is spread to humans via contact (generally a bite or a scratch) with infected animals. The usual carriers are bats, skunks, foxes, raccoons, cats, and dogs. The rabies virus at work The course of rabies in humans is varied and quite horrible: Rabies victim displaying hydrophobia At one time, the bite of a rabid animal was certain death, but thanks to developments made by Louis Pasteur in the late 1800's, a vaccine is available which can prevent rabies from developing if administered early enough. However, if the vaccine is not administered before rabies has developed, there is little hope for the patient.

[_private/navbar.htm] Rabies and Your Pet Rabies is a potentially fatal virus that can be spread between animals and to humans. Most mammals can spread the disease but it is most often spread by raccoons, foxes, and skunks. Rabies is most commonly spread by bites. Because of the seriousness of this disease, it is necessary by law to have your pet vaccinated against the disease. Even if your pet never goes outdoors, it is very wise to be sure you and your pet are protected from rabies. What can you do to protect your pet? It is quite simple. Get your pet vaccinated regularly. Your veterinarian will advise you when the shots are necessary. The first rabies vaccine is given during your pet's first year of life. A booster follows one year later, and then every 3 years.
