Get your ChiroRab Anti-Rabies Vaccines from One Top Medical Systems Resources
Rabies continues to be a significant public health issue in the Philippines, where the country sees hundreds of fatalities each year despite rabies being a fully preventable disease. In the first half of 2024 alone, the Department of Health (DOH) reported 169 rabies cases, with 160 of those resulting in death. Given that rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, timely and effective treatment at Animal Bite Treatment Centers (ABTCs) is crucial for saving lives.

By supplying ABTCs across the country with this WHO-prequalified vaccine, OTMSR is playing a pivotal role in enhancing rabies prevention efforts and supporting the Philippines’ goal of becoming rabies-free by 2030.

Strengthening Rabies Prevention in the Philippines: Empowering Animal Bite Treatment Centers with ChiroRab
Rabies remains a pressing public health issue in the Philippines, a nation that grapples with high rabies prevalence and an alarming number of fatalities annually. Despite being a 100% vaccine-preventable disease, rabies still claims hundreds of lives each year, with the Department of Health (DOH) reporting 169 cases in just the first half of 2024, 160 of which were fatal. As frontline facilities, Animal Bite Treatment Centers (ABTCs) play a critical role in addressing this challenge by ensuring that individuals exposed to rabid animals receive timely and effective treatment.
The introduction of ChiroRab, a globally trusted rabies vaccine distributed by One Top Medical Systems Resources, offers an opportunity to enhance rabies prevention efforts across the country.
Rabies in the Philippines: A Persistent Challenge
Key Facts:
- High Burden of Disease: The Philippines ranks among the top countries for rabies prevalence, with dogs accounting for 71% of all exposures.
- Contributing Factors: Unvaccinated pets, a large stray animal population, and limited public awareness exacerbate the problem.
- Fatal Outcomes: Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. This underscores the need for prompt post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) at ABTCs.
Government Response:
The Philippine government has implemented several policies and programs aimed at controlling rabies, including:
- The Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (RA 9482): Mandates mass vaccination of dogs, impounding of strays, and public education campaigns.
- National Rabies Prevention and Control Program (NRPCP): Seeks to declare the Philippines rabies-free by 2030 through a multifaceted strategy involving governance, service delivery, financing, and public awareness.
While these initiatives are crucial, the success of the national program hinges on the consistent availability of high-quality vaccines at ABTCs, ensuring every bite victim receives timely and effective treatment.
Why ChiroRab Is the Ideal Vaccine for ABTCs
Proven Efficacy and Safety
ChiroRab is a second-generation Purified Chick Embryo Cell (PCEC) vaccine, prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO). With over 80 million doses administered globally, it has demonstrated:
- High Potency: Each dose contains ≥2.5 IU of inactivated rabies virus, meeting WHO standards for protective rabies virus-neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels.
- Safety Across Populations: Suitable for children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals. Clinical trials have shown minimal side effects, with local reactions such as mild injection site pain being self-limiting.
Versatile Vaccination Schedules
ChiroRab offers flexibility in vaccination regimens, enabling ABTCs to cater to diverse patient needs:
- Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): Administered on Days 0, 7, and 21 or 28.
- Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP): Administered on Days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28, often combined with rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) for high-risk exposures.
Simplified Storage and Handling
ChiroRab is stable when stored at +2°C to +8°C, making it ideal for ABTCs in remote areas where maintaining a consistent cold chain can be challenging.
Enable a rabies-free Philippines
By integrating ChiroRab into their operations, ABTCs can align with the goals of the NRPCP, ensuring:
- Improved Access to Vaccines: With a reliable supply of ChiroRab, ABTCs can meet the rising demand for PEP among bite victims.
- Enhanced Public Confidence: Offering a WHO-prequalified vaccine reassures patients about the quality and efficacy of their treatment.
- Streamlined Reporting and Monitoring: ChiroRab’s use can support the centralized tracking of rabies cases and vaccine distribution, aiding national and local health authorities.
