The unsung virtue of thermostable anti-rabies vaccine

Krishna Prasad Acharya, Sarita Phuyal.


Abstract
Vaccination is the most effective tool to protect against rabies. Currently, two different types of vaccines, i.e., tissue culture and cell culture vaccines, are available for prophylaxis against rabies in both animals and humans. These vaccines require strict maintenance of the cold chain at a temperature of 2°C–8°C during storage, transport, and delivery to ensure that the full titer of the vaccine is retained during administration. No thermostable rabies vaccine exists that can be safely stored and administered at room temperature.
