- Abstract
Rabies is a deadly disease, and current preexposure vaccination schedules are lengthy and expensive. We identified nine studies investigating abbreviated schedules. Although initial responses were lower, accelerated adequate immune responses were elicited after booster vaccinations. Lower-dose (and therefore cheaper) vaccination schedules may constitute a valid alternative to current vaccination schedules.
