Brief Answer:
RABIPUR or VAXIRAB N or VERORAB or ZOONOVAC 2.5

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

VaxiRab N and Rabipur are the same. They are an inactivated vaccine, made from a dead virus, helps develop immunity by forming antibodies, that protect against infection caused by Rabies viruses present in the vaccine.

In fact you can take RABIPUR OR VAXIRAB N OR VERORAB OR ZOONOVAC (all same different brand) up to 2.5 IU per dose.

Wash and dress the area well immediately after dog bite.
