title: A three-year clinical study on immunogenicity, safety, and booster response of purified chick embryo cell rabies vaccine administered intramuscularly or intradermally to 12- to 18-month-old Thai children, concomitantly with Japanese encephalitis vaccine.
abstract: After concomitant administration of purified chick embryo cell rabies vaccine and Japanese encephalitis vaccine to toddlers, adequate rabies and Japanese encephalitis virus neutralizing antibodies concentrations were demonstrated by day 49, 7 days after a booster at 1 year, and in the majorly at 3 years postvaccination. The inclusion of rabies vaccine in the expanded program on immunization should be considered in rabies endemic countries.
