Abstract :
Thimerosal is used as a preservative in Rabies vaccine. This study
aimed at comparing potency and stability of inactivated animal rabies
vaccine with and without thimerosal. Therefore, two groups of rabies
vaccine were produced. The results indicated that thimerosal has no
deleterious effect on the vaccine; furthermore, its elimination did not
influence the potency and stability of the vaccine.
