Australia, the UK and the US have issued health advisories over rabies vaccines taken in India, citing concerns about possibly counterfeit doses of the Abhayrab vaccine. The alerts have raised questions about vaccine safety, regulation, and rabies prevention, especially for travellers who received post-bite rabies shots in India after November 2023.
Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease that is nearly 100% fatal once symptoms appear. India accounts for a large share of global rabies deaths, despite vaccines being available and regulated by authorities like the CDSCO. The vaccine maker, Indian Immunologicals Limited (IIL), has denied wider counterfeiting and says the identified batch was removed in January 2025.
This explainer breaks down what triggered the global advisories, what it means for travellers and patients, and how rabies vaccines are regulated in India.
