Rabies vaccines and immunoglobulins: WHO position

April 29, 2022

PEP consists of the following steps:

All bite wounds and scratches should be attended to as soon as possible after the exposure; thorough washing and flushing of the wound for approximately 15 minutes, with soap or detergent and copious
amounts of water, is required. Where available, an iodine-containing, or similarly viricidal, topical
preparation should be applied to the wound.
RIG should be administered for severe category III exposures. Wounds that require suturing should be
sutured loosely and only after RIG infiltration into the wound.
A series of rabies vaccine injections should be administered promptly after an exposure.
