Brief Summary  
This is an open label, phase IV, randomized, controlled study. Safety (in all participants) and immunogenicity (in a subset) of Rabishield + Rabivax-S and ERIG + Rabivax-S PEP regimen will be evaluated. Rabivax-S will be administered either by intramuscular (IM) route as per Essen PEP regimen or intradermal (ID) route as per Updated Thai Red Cross Schedule in patients with WHO category III exposures by suspected rabid animals as per randomization. Category III exposures include single or multiple transdermal bites or scratches, contamination of mucous membrane or broken skin with saliva from animal licks, and exposures due to direct contact with bats (severe exposure). All the participants will be followed up for 1 year for safety.
