(Developer organization: FKP “Shchelkovo Biocombine”, Moscow region)
I. General information
International non-proprietary name - inactivated dry culture anti-rabies vaccine from the Shchelkovo-51 strain for dogs and cats (Rabican).
Dosage form - lyophilized mass.
The vaccine is made from β-propiolactone-inactivated rabies virus strain “Shchelkovo-51” with the addition of 33.3% sucrose-peptone-gelatin stabilizer.
In appearance, the vaccine is a dry, porous mass of yellowish-brown color, which, when sterile distilled water is added in a volume equal to the volume of the vaccine in the vial before drying, dissolves within 1-2 minutes to form a transparent yellowish-brown liquid.
The vaccine is packaged in 2 packs; 4 or 10 cm3 (1; 2; 5 doses for large breed dogs or 2; 4; 10 doses for cats, puppies and adult dogs of small decorative breeds) in bottles of appropriate capacity, hermetically sealed with rubber stoppers reinforced with aluminum caps.
The vaccine vials are packaged in boxes with dividing partitions to ensure their integrity. Each box of vaccine contains instructions for its use. Boxes with the vaccine are packed in boxes or corrugated containers.
The shelf life of the vaccine is 24 months from the date of release, subject to storage and transportation conditions. After the expiration date, the vaccine is not suitable for use.
The vaccine is stored and transported in a dry, dark place at a temperature of 2°C to 8°C or at any sub-zero temperature.
It is allowed to transport the vaccine in the packaging of the manufacturer at a temperature not exceeding 25°C for no more than 10 days.
The Rabican vaccine should be stored out of the reach of children.
Vaccine in vials without markings, with a violation of the integrity and/or tightness of the closure, with a changed color and/or consistency, with the presence of foreign impurities, with an expired expiration date, as well as vaccine residues not used within 4 hours after opening the vials are subject to discarding and disinfection by boiling for 30 minutes or treating with a 2% alkali solution or a 5% chloramine solution (1:1) for 30 minutes. Vaccine vials, syringes and needles are treated in the same way.
Disposal of decontaminated vaccine does not require special precautions.
II. Biological properties
The vaccine causes the formation of an immune response to the rabies pathogen in primary vaccinated animals from 5-7 days after a single injection of the vaccine; immunity reaches its maximum by 30-40 days and lasts for 1 year. In the case of a two-time vaccine administration, with revaccination after 30-50 days, immunity lasts for 2 years.
The immunogenic activity (immunogenicity index) of the vaccine is at least 1 IU/cm3.
The vaccine is harmless and has no medicinal properties.
III. Application procedure
The vaccine is intended for preventive and emergency vaccination of dogs and cats against rabies.
It is prohibited to vaccinate animals suspected of having rabies.
Dogs and cats are subject to vaccination starting from 2 months of age. Vaccination is carried out in compliance with the rules of asepsis and antiseptics.
Before use, the dry vaccine is reconstituted to the original volume indicated on the label with sterile distilled water.
The drug is administered subcutaneously. The injection site is wiped with a 70% solution of ethyl alcohol or another disinfectant solution. A separate needle is used for each animal.
The vaccine is administered in doses (per injection):
- dogs of large breeds (shepherds, St. Bernards, etc.) - 2 cm3;
- puppies (up to 1 year) and adult dogs of small decorative breeds (lapdogs, dachshunds, Spitz, terriers, etc.) - 1 cm3;
- cats - 1 cm3.
Rabikan anti-rabies vaccine for cats and dogs
Rabies is a fatal disease caused by a specific pathogen, the rhabdovirus Rabies lyssavirus.
This is a typical zoonotic infection. The manifestation of its clinical signs means that there is no chance of salvation. Separately, it is worth considering a remedy that can help - Rabican, but this is a little lower. The main source of rhabdovirus is zoophages (carnivores). Therefore, vaccination of dogs and other domestic animals is mandatory and is carried out free of charge in state veterinary institutions.
Don't miss the chance to reliably protect yourself and your loved ones from this merciless disease! After all, a person usually becomes infected with the rabies virus after being bitten by a sick four-legged family pet.
Remember: medicine knows of only a few cases of recovery of people who were given this terrible diagnosis. So all cat and dog owners should unconditionally vaccinate their pets.
But which vaccine should you choose?
Biological properties
- Being an effective means of preventing rabies in dogs, it forms super-active immunity to the rhabdovirus Rabies lyssavirus.
- After a single injection, immune resistance is developed already on days 5-7, which reaches its final formation after 30-40 days and persists for 12 months.
- A two-time injection with an interval of 30-50 days will ensure immunity stability at the level of 0.5 IU for at least 2 years.
- The drug is completely harmless: not a single case of any side effects has been recorded.
Application procedure
It is prohibited to use the dog rabies vaccine if infection with rhabdovirus is suspected.
The simultaneous use of Rabican in combination with other immunoprophylactic drugs, as well as its administration before/after 10 days during vaccination with antiviral drugs, is prohibited.
Vaccination of kittens and puppies is carried out starting from two months of age. Subcutaneous injection is performed in the withers area in compliance with antiseptic requirements:
- the injection site must be wiped with 70% ethyl alcohol or another antiseptic;
- A separate needle should be used for each pet.
The dosage of the drug depends on the dimensions:
- one-year-old puppies and miniature dogs are given 1 ml of vaccine;
- large dogs - 2 ml;
- cats (with any parameters) - 1 ml.
Before use, the contents of the bottle are diluted with distillate, restoring the dry vaccine to the volume indicated on the label.
Preventive measures against rabies in dogs consist of eradicating the disease within settlements and improving the health of areas infected with rabies infection.
In areas free from rhabdovirus, a single preventive immunization is carried out. Re-introduction of "Rabican" is carried out after a year; further revaccination scheme is 1 time every 2 years. If rabies infection has been introduced into these areas, then the animals are immunized without observing the one-year interval between the 1st and 2nd vaccinations.
In unfavorable areas, immunization is carried out twice with a break of 30-50 days. After this, a single revaccination is carried out once every 2 years. Those pets that have been vaccinated previously are vaccinated once every 2 years.
Emergency (forced) therapeutic and prophylactic vaccination in case of suspected infection is carried out within 48 hours. "Rabican" is administered twice with a two-week break in the dosages recommended for immunization.
