Rabies Shot Scheduler is an easy-to-use application where anyone can generate a complete schedule of Anti-rabies vaccine shots as per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.

This app can be useful for health care professionals like doctors, nurses, medical students and other paramedics who need to treat and vaccinate their patients who come to the ER/Hospital with a history of dog bites or other animal bites. They can use this application to generate a vaccination schedule for their patients and also, calculate the doses of Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) whenever it's necessary. This application will save a lot of time.

• How to use this application?

Step 1: Pick the date of your first anti-rabies vaccine shot from the given calendar field.

Step 2: Select the type of exposure.

- Select 'Post-exposure Prophylaxis' if you got bitten by a suspected rabid animal and never took anti-rabies vaccine before.
