Rabies vaccine was invented by Louis Pasteur in 1885.
The famous scientist Luis Pasteur discovered the above method and vaccine. This method of milk sterilization is called as pasteurization.
A rabies vaccine was developed in 1885 by Louis Pasteur and Émile Roux. Until that time all human cases of rabies were fatal. The vaccine produced is a killed vaccine. Today, only 1-2 deaths per year occur in USA from rabies. These are usually caused by bats. For more information see the link below:
One should get a rabies vaccine if they are exposed to rabies or have a high risk of being exposed to rabies. There are three doses to the rabies vaccine, and one can get it from the Health Department or from one's doctor.
No he should not, as it is a very safe and killed vaccine. He could probably be vaccinated for Rabies many many times in one year and have no reaction. Don't worry, better to be safe and know he has his Rabies vaccine than not.
Louis Pasteur used the common sense for the vaccine production. He infected the rabbits with rabies virus. When the rabbit developed the rabies and died of rabies. He removed the brains of rabbits and dried them, for about ten day, after making small pieces of the same. This way he attenuated the rabies virus. Form this tissue he made the rabies vaccine. This was very crude vaccine and protection rate was about 60 % only. 18 people died of rabies, due to rabies vaccine in initial days of rabies vaccine production.
