Other warnings you should know about:

KamRAB is made from human plasma; therefore, the potential exists that KamRAB administration may transmit infectious disease such as viruses, both known and unknown, and other diseases such as the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. The risk of getting an infectious disease from KamRAB administration is very small and is minimized by screening human plasma donors for prior exposure to certain viruses, testing donors for certain viral infections and by designated viral inactivation and removal certain viruses during the manufacturing of KamRAB; however, there is the possibility that KamRAB administration could transmit infectious diseases.

KamRAB administration may interfere with other vaccines. It is important to avoid immunization with measles vaccines within 4 months after KamRAB administration and avoid immunization with other live vaccines for 3 months after KamRAB administration.

KamRAB should not be mixed with the rabies vaccine or injected in the same syringe with the rabies vaccine.

KamRAB should not be administered into the same injection site on the body where rabies vaccine was injected.
