Simulated post-exposure rabies vaccination: authors’ response to Wilde et al.

摘要

I am grateful for the opportunity to respond to the comments by Wilde et al. The main purpose of the study was to see if the purified chick embryo vaccine can be administered safely using a 0.1?mL intradermal (ID) dose in the Thai Red Cross regimen. This has been proved to be effective in Thai studies and based on this, the World Health Organization (WHO) is likely to approve it. We are now in the final stages of obtaining approval for the introduction of the ID route in India and wish to develop a uniform schedule for all cell culture vaccines used by the ID route.
