Recent Development

In April 2022

Cadila Pharmaceuticals announced that it had developed the world's first novel three-dose vaccine against rabies. The three-dose vaccine, named 'ThRabis,' is a recombinant nano-particle-based G protein vaccine prepared using Virus-like Particle technology.

The company added that the three-dose schedule is spread over one week.

The new vaccine will prove to be a game-changer because all the other rabies vaccines require five injections over 28 days to eliminate the threatCadila, Pharmaceuticals said at the launch ceremony of the new vaccine.
