Abbreviated rabies PrEP schedules
Rabies represents an unremitting and neglected global challenge. Particularly for travellers , rabies PrEP is often not planned in a timely manner prior to departure. The WHO has recommended double-dose two-visit intradermal (ID) and single-dose two-visit intramuscular (IM) schedules.
Topics covered:
- Prime and Boost concept: rabies PrEP and PEP
- Shortened two-visit rabies PrEP schedules
- Harmonizing rabies PrEP and PEP guidelines
- Single-visit rabies PrEP schedules

Fast-Track Immunity: Rapid immune protection through advanced vaccination strategies for Tick-borne Encephalitis vaccination
TBE is becoming increasingly endemic across Europe. However, initial vaccine uptake and compliance with the full three-dose schedule, as well as subsequent boosters, remain sub-optimal in many regions.
This presentation explores:
- The various schedules available for TBE vaccines
- Their suitability in situations where rapid protection is needed, such as for travellers or individuals beginning vaccination during the high tick activity season
