Where did the first human rabies vaccine succeed?
Quick Answer
The first successful human rabies vaccination was given in Paris, France, in 1885.
The Full Story
Louis Pasteur and his colleagues first successfully treated a human rabies exposure in Paris in 1885. The patient was Joseph Meister, a boy bitten by a rabid dog. Pasteur’s treatment was an early milestone in preventive medicine, although it was developed before the modern understanding of virology. Rabies remains almost always fatal once symptoms begin, which makes post-exposure vaccination crucial.
