inactivated rabies vaccine

An inactivated rabies vaccine is a shot that protects you from rabies by using a virus that has been killed or rendered harmless. Since the virus is inactive, it cannot cause disease, but it still prompts your immune system to recognize and build defenses against rabies. This vaccine is given before potential exposure (like for travelers or animal handlers) or after a possible exposure to prevent the disease. It is safe, effective, and widely used to prevent rabies, which is a deadly virus that affects the nervous system.
