HRIG is safe for all age group. Even if HRIG is not available, Equine rabies immunoglobulin can be given(ERIG). dose for ERIG is more(40iu/kg). ERIG administration requires first a small test dose to look for any allergy in the child and then the administration of it around the wound and intramuscularly. HRIG is available in Delhi at good pharmacist like All India Medicos Yusuf Sarai. ERIG is also equally effective.
