Rabies vaccine study seeks to sharpen prevention strategies

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: \- 1. Healthy participants over 18 years of age. 2. Able to understand and give informed consent. 3. Willing to receive rabies vaccine 4. In stable health, as determined by medical history and targeted physical exam related to this history. 5\. For those willing to give FNA, CBL and BMA samples, Willing to: give FNA specimens OR give CBL specimens OR give bone marrow aspirates OR give both FNA and BMA specimens OR give both FNA and CBL specimens OR give FNA, CBL and BMA specimens Exclusion Criteria: 1. Receipt of prior rabies vaccination or risk for rabies exposure requiring standard vaccination 2. Has a current or previous diagnosis of immunocompromising condition to include human immunodeficiency virus, immune-mediated disease requiring immunosuppressive treatment, or other immunosuppressive condition. 3. Has received systemic immunosuppressants or immune-modifying drugs for \> 14 days in total within 6 months prior to Screening (for corticosteroids ≥ 10 mg/day of prednisone equivalent) or is anticipating the need for immunosuppressive treatment at any time during participation in the study. 4. Is acutely ill or febrile (temperature \>38.0 C \[100.4F\] less than 72 hours prior to or at the day 1 visit. Participants who meet this criteria may be rescheduled. 5. Currently has symptomatic acute or unstable chronic disease requiring medical or surgical care, to include significant change in therapy or hospitalization, at the discretion of the investigator. 6. History of excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse, psychiatric conditions, social conditions or occupational conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude compliance with the study. 7. Has received any vaccine ≤ 28 days prior to the injection (Day 1) or plans to receive a vaccine within 28 days before or after the study injection. These participants may be rescheduled. 8. Pregnant women and nursing mothers or women who are planning to become pregnant for the study duration. 9. Have donated blood, blood products or bone marrow within 30 days before study vaccination, plan to donate blood at any time during the duration of participant study participation, or plan to donate blood within 30 days after the last blood draw. 10. Any condition in the opinion of the investigator that would interfere with the proper conduct of the trial. 11. Coagulopathy (primary or iatrogenic) which would contraindicate bone marrow aspirate or core lymph node biopsy for participants willing to have those procedures done 12. Known IgA deficiency, as this is a known risk factor for anaphylactic reactions to Rabies immunoglobulin. \-
