Keywords:
Rabies vaccines, Intradermal route, antigenicity, immunogenicity, metaanalysis
Abstract
The metadata of 10 published studies and 3 vaccine trial reports compromising
of 19 vaccine cohorts from four countries conducted ove a period of 23 years
(1986-2009) was used for metaanalysis. The vaccines studied were purified chick
embryo cell vaccine (Rajibpur, India and Germany), purified vero cell rabies
vaccine (Verorab, France, Indirab, India) & human diploid cell vaccine (MIRV,
France).
