Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, There are different type of anti rabies vaccines like human diploid cell culture vaccine (HDCV), purified very cell rabies vaccine (PVRV) and purifies chick embryo cell vaccine (PCEC) which are available in the market. All these vaccines are equally effective, and you need to take all the five shots of vaccine with any of the above-mentioned vaccine. If you give any of this vaccine as per the WHO schedule it is going to protect against development of rabies. Thank you.
