Q. What is post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of rabies?
Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) consists of a dose of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and rabies vaccine.

For people who have never been vaccinated against rabies previously, post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) should always include administration of both HRIG and rabies vaccine.
