The updated Thai Red Cross (TRC) regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) involves intradermal administration of rabies vaccine. The current regimen, as revised, consists of two 0.1 mL injections of a World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended tissue culture rabies vaccine at two sites on days 0, 3, and 7, followed by one injection at two sites on day 28. This updated regimen eliminates the previously required 90-day booster injection.
Upon reexposure to a child who has completedthe pep , 2 doses are recommended at day 0 and 3.
Next Steps
Rabies is a fatal disease. Kindly take all injections recommended on time.
