Rabies vaccine: needle into skin vs muscle
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving the rabies vaccine—one injected just under the skin and one injected into the muscle—to see which is safer and more effective. It may help make rabies prevention easier and less painful.
