However, supplies are still limited to ordering on a per patient basis. Though Novartis is now able to deliver RabAvert\n\n\n  vaccine for post-exposure prophylaxis without supply restrictions (no password is required), providers are strongly urged to consult with\n\n\n  the rabies program on all cases of potential rabies exposure before treatment is instituted. The Novartis product identification number\n\n\n  has changed from 53905-501-01 to 63851-501-01. Questions regarding the Novartis product can be directed to Novartis customer service at\n\n\n  1-800-244-7668.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n\n\n  Sanofi Vaccine (Imovax)\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  Sanofi Pasteur continues to have IMOVAX vaccine available for post-exposure prophylaxis. To obtain IMOVAX rabies vaccine providers must\n\n\n  first contact the Rabies program at 302-744-4545 so that a risk-assessment can be conducted for the suspected exposure. If the Rabies\n\n\n  program determines that rabies post-exposure prophylaxis is indicated they will provide a pass-code to be placed on the Sanofi Pasteur\n\n\n  Rabies Post-Exposure Form. The form must be filled out in its entirety, including the required physician&#8217;s signature and pass code\n\n\n  provided by the Rabies program. Please contact Sanofi Pasteur at 1-800-VACCINE to obtain the required form.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n\n\n  Pre-exposure Prophylaxis\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  Please call the Rabies program (302-744-4545) for information relating to pre exposure prophylaxis.\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n  Additional rabies vaccine information is also available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/rabies\/\" style=\"text-decoration: underline\">http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/rabies\/<\/a>\n\n\n<\/p><!--[END]-->\n\n  \n\n        <div class=\"panel panel-danger\">\n\n          <div class=\"panel-heading\">    \n\n      <h2>Categories of Health Alert messages:<\/h2>\n\n       <\/div>\n\n       <div class=\"panel-body\">\n\n      <ul>\n\n        <li><strong>Health Alert:<\/strong> Conveys the highest level of importance; warrants immediate action or attention.<\/li>\n\n        <li><strong>Health Advisory:<\/strong> Provides important information for a specific incident or situation; may not require immediate action.<\/li>\n\n        <li><strong>Health Update:<\/strong> Provides updated information regarding an incident or situation; unlikely to require immediate action.<\/li>\n\n            <\/ul>\n\n         <div><strong>NOTE: This page is for informational purposes only and dated material (e.g. temporary websites) may not be available.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n          <\/div> \n\n        <\/div><br>  \n\n\n\n      <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div><!-- \/container -->\n\n  <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen Delaware Health Alert Network #162 November 12, 2008 3:30 pm Public Health Menu Home About About DPH Sections &#038; Programs Office Locations Contact Info Calendar Services A-Z Services Air &#038; Water Quality Birth, Death, &#038; Marriage Records Clinics Health Data &#038; Statistics Emergency Preparedness Health &#038; Wellness Healthy Homes Healthy Workplaces Laboratory Restaurant Inspections [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":9294,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10119","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10119"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10119\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11295,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10119\/revisions\/11295"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www-test.dhss.delaware.gov\/dph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
