Cat Bite Vaccine

Whether it is a scratch from a domestic cat or a bite from a stray cat, AIM Cat Bite Vaccines can provide professional, safe, and effective rabies prevention and protection. At present, the products have been supplied for a long time in more than 2000 CDC institutions and medical institutions across China, and also support cross-border bulk procurement to contribute to global rabies prevention and control for cat-related injuries.

Why Rabies Prevention for Cat-related Injuries Requires Attention?

Many people have a misconception that the risk of cat bites is lower than that of dog bites. In fact, cats are also one of the main hosts of the rabies virus, especially stray cats and free-roaming cats, which have a higher risk of carrying the virus.In terms of exposure classification, cat scratches (even without bleeding) belong to WHO Category II Exposure, while cat bites (with bleeding) or contact of cat saliva with mucous membranes are WHO Category III Exposure.

Once such exposure occurs, if immunoprophylaxis is not carried out in time, the virus can invade the human body through damaged skin or mucous membranes. Once rabies develops, the fatality rate is nearly 100%, so rabies prevention after cat-related injuries is of great importance.

In addition, cat claws and mouths may also carry pathogenic bacteria such as Pasteurella, which can easily cause wound infection, redness, swelling, or even abscesses. However, the fatal risk of rabies remains the primary prevention and control target.

Core Principles of Rabies Prevention after Cat-related Injuries

Emergency Wound Management: Immediately rinse the wound with soapy water or clean water for more than 15 minutes, then disinfect it with iodophor or alcohol to reduce the probability of viral and bacterial infection

Timely Vaccination: For Category II exposure, rabies vaccination should be initiated as soon as possible; for Category III exposure, infiltration injection of Rabies Immunoglobulin (at a dose of 20IU/kg) should also be administered in combination

Standardized Full-course Immunization: The full-course vaccination must be completed in strict accordance with the vaccine immunization schedule, and must not be interrupted halfway, to ensure the formation of effective protective antibodies in the body

AIM Honor Vaccine: The Optimal Solution for Rabies Prevention from Cat-related Injuries

1. Highly Effective Immunity:

Both Cat Bite Vaccines use strains with high immunogenicity (the conventional vaccine uses the indigenous aG strain, while the serum-free vaccine uses the PV-2061 strain).

The seroconversion rate reaches 100% 14 days after vaccination, and the neutralizing antibody level far exceeds the 0.5IU/ml protection threshold specified by the WHO, quickly building an immune barrier for people with cat-related injuries.

2. High Safety:

No preservatives are added to the conventional vaccine, and the residual bovine serum albumin is ≤10ng per dose, which is much lower than the industry standard; The serum-free vaccine adopts a serum-free culture process throughout production, completely eliminating the allergy and contamination risks related to bovine serum.

The main adverse reaction is mild local pain, which usually resolves spontaneously within 1-3 days, making it suitable for special groups such as children, the elderly, and people with allergic constitutions.

3. Standardized and Compliant:

The conventional vaccine has the National Drug Approval Number S20073014, with a 100% batch release qualification rate for 17 years; The serum-free vaccine has completed Phase III clinical trials, and the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) has accepted its marketing authorization application, with the production process complying with the WHO Specifications for the Use of Biological Products Raw Materials.

Vaccination Schedule Adapted to Cat-related Exposure Scenarios

For Category II / III exposures caused by cats, the 5-dose intramuscular injection schedule on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 can be adopted, with vaccination in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm (the anterolateral thigh can be selected for infants);The serum-free vaccine also supports the WHO Simplified 4-dose Schedule, which reduces the number of vaccinations while ensuring the immune effect, improving the vaccination compliance of people with cat-related injuries.
