Many people think ERIG and the Rabies Vaccine are the sameโbut they have different roles in protecting you after an animal bite or scratch.
๐น ERIG (Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin) provides immediate protection by neutralizing the rabies virus at the wound site.
๐น Rabies Vaccine helps your body build long-term immunity by producing its own antibodies against rabies.
โ
They work best together, especially for severe (Category III) animal bites, as recommended by healthcare professionals.
โ ๏ธ Remember: Rabies is 100% preventable if treated immediately, but once symptoms appear, it is almost always fatal.
๐พ If you've been bitten or scratched by a dog, cat, or any potentially rabid animal:
โ๏ธ Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes.
โ๏ธ Apply an antiseptic.
โ๏ธ Visit the nearest Animal Bite Treatment Center as soon as possible.
๐ Don't wait. Protect yourself and your loved ones. Early treatment saves lives!
