All about the counterfeit ‘Abhayrab’ rabies vaccine batch under investigation
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Authorities are investigating a counterfeit batch of the 'Abhayrab' rabies vaccine. The situation highlights the critical danger of fake inoculations, as rabies is fatal if not treated promptly with a genuine and potent vaccine.
WHY IT MATTERS
The distribution of fake rabies vaccines poses a lethal threat to public health by creating a false sense of immunity in patients exposed to the deadly virus.
With rabies, the margin for error is exceptionally small. A genuine, potent vaccine administered promptly can prevent a fatal disease; a counterfeit product can create the dangerous illusion that protection has been provided
