Our Review Process
SafeRabies Editorial Team — Reviewed against current CDC and WHO rabies guidance
Every clinical or medical page on this site is reviewed by our editorial team against current CDC and WHO rabies guidance for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with primary sources. The most recent sitewide review was completed April 14, 2026. We are actively engaging a licensed medical professional to provide named clinical review.
Our Sources
All medical and safety content is based on the following source hierarchy, listed in order of priority:
- World Health Organization (WHO) rabies guidance
- CDC rabies prevention and control guidelines
- State and local public health department regulations
- Peer-reviewed medical literature
When sources conflict, we follow WHO guidance first, then CDC guidance, then regional regulations. Original research or anecdotal evidence is never used as a sole source.
