Rabies vaccines such as Ravivax-S, Abhayrab, and Rabipur are all WHO-approved cell-culture vaccines.
These vaccines are considered interchangeable, meaning you can safely continue the remaining doses with Abhayrab or Rabipur if Ravivax-S is not available

You may take
But it’s always Recommended to complete the same brand of vaccine if available
In case you won’t be able to find Ravivax then take another one
But I strongly recommend to continue and finish your all 5 doses with same brand if available
Thanks

Hello. I understand your concern about switching vaccine brands during your rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) schedule.
The Short Answer
Yes, you can take Abhayrab or Rabipur on 04.04.2026.
While it is generally ideal to complete the entire course with the same brand of vaccine, medical guidelines (including those from the WHO) state that rabies vaccines are interchangeable if the specific brand used previously is unavailable. What is most important is sticking to the prescribed schedule rather than the brand name.
Key Points for Your Treatment
Interchangeability: Ravivax-S, Abhayrab, and Rabipur are all high-quality, modern rabies vaccines (PCECV or CCV). They work in the same way to stimulate your immune system. Switching will not reduce the effectiveness of your protection against rabies.
The Schedule is Critical: You have already taken doses on Day 0 (28.03) and Day 3 (31.03). Your next dose is scheduled for Day 7 (04.04). It is vital that you receive this third dose on time, regardless of the brand used.
Complete the Course: Please ensure you follow through with the remaining doses (usually on Day 14 and Day 28, depending on the regimen your doctor prescribed) to ensure full, long-lasting immunity.
Recommendations
Proceed with the Injection: Do not delay your Day 7 dose. Go ahead with Abhayrab or Rabipur as planned on 04.04.2026.
Maintain Your Vaccination Card: Make sure the healthcare provider records the new brand name and batch number on your vaccination card for your records.
Wound Care: If the bite site hasn't fully healed, continue to keep it clean. If you notice any redness, swelling, or pus, please let your doctor know.
Summary: Your safety is not compromised by switching brands. The most important factor in rabies prevention is ensuring you do not miss or delay any of your scheduled doses.
Note: This advice is based on standard clinical protocols for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis. Always confirm with the attending staff at the clinic where you receive your injection.

Yes, you can switch to another anti-rabies vaccine like Abhayrab or Rabipur if Ravivax-S is not available. All are effective and interchangeable.
Do not delay the next dose—take it on schedule (4.4.2026). Try to complete remaining doses on time.
If possible, consult a doctor to confirm schedule and ensure proper treatment.
