Abstract
© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Background: Reducing the number of doses required for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) would make it more feasible and cost-effective to implement in children at the highest risk of rabies exposure in Asia. We studied immune response of 2-site intradermal (ID) injection of rabies vaccine on days 0 and 28 for rabies PrEP simultaneously administrated with live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine (JE-CV) for children living in endemic area. Research design and methods: Seronegative children (n = 49) aged 12–16 months were randomized 2:1 into two groups: Group A subjects were vaccinated with 0.1-mL ID injection of purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV), each at two sites on day (D) 0 and D28; Group B subjects were vaccinated with conventional 0.5-mL intramuscular PVRV on D0, D7 and D28. Both groups received one dose of JE-CV subcutaneously on D0 and D365. Rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titers were measured on D0, D42 and D365 after vaccination; Japanese Encephalitis (JE) neutralizing antibody titers were determined on D0, D42, D365 and D379. Results: All children had RVNA ≥ 0.5 IU/mL on D42 (geometric mean titers [GMTs] of RVNA 14.35 IU/mL [Group A] and 14.83 IU/mL [Group B], p > 0.05]). On D365, RVNA GMTs of subjects in group A and B were 1.50 IU/mL and 2.00 IU/mL (p > 0.05), respectively. All children had seroprotection following booster dose of JE-CV. There were no vaccine-related SAEs observed. Conclusion: The 2-site ID PrEP with PVRV on days 0 and 28 co-administrated with JE-CV are safe and immunogenic.
