Vaccine should be given annually to all domestic animals.
Vaccine should be given as soon as possible after the bite.
Pasive immunisation with immunoglobulin derived from horse serum may result in serum sickness. Immunoglobulin derived from human serum also has this problem but to a lesser extent.
Dogs are the main source of infection but cats, bats racoons and others may also carry rabies.
