Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study intends to use a randomized controlled trial design to vaccinate all participants against rabies and perform ARA interventions during vaccination to test the efficacy, safety, and intestinal flora of each group after immunization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Rabies is an acute zoonotic infectious disease caused by central nervous system invasion by rabies virus. At present, there is still a lack of effective treatment, and once clinical symptoms appear, it is almost 100% fatal. Rabies vaccination within 24 hours of exposure may reduce the incidence of rabies. Pre-exposure prophylaxis is also effective, and the current recommended pre-exposure vaccination program in China is 0 days, 7th day, 21st days.

The health of the human body is inseparable from various nutrients. There are studies suggesting that arachidonic acid(ARA) has an immunomodulatory effect, but there is limited evidence for its effect on vaccines. Therefore, this study will explore the effects of nutritional supplements on the effectiveness of rabies vaccination.
