Travellers sometimes present for pre-travel consultation with insufficient time to complete standard PrEP schedules. We investigated the efficacy of one-dose intramuscular (IM) vaccine in priming the immune system (as PrEP) by measuring antibody response to simulated post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A quasi-experimental pre\u2013post intervention clinical trial was conducted at a specialist travel clinic in Australia. Adults (\u226518\u00a0years) without a history of rabies vaccination were included. At Visit 1, seronegative status was confirmed and one dose of 0.5\u00a0ml IM rabies vaccine (Verorab\u00ae) administered. At Visit 2 (\u226560\u00a0days after Visit 1), serology was repeated and a simulated PEP dose (0.5\u00a0ml IM) given on this day and again 3\u00a0days later (Visit 3). Serology was repeated at Visit 4 (7 days after Visit 2).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 94 antibody-negative participants were included (&amp;lt;50\u00a0years [n\u2009=\u200950]; \u226550\u00a0years [n\u2009=\u200944]). At Visit 2, 38.0 and 31.8% of participants aged &amp;lt;50 and\u2009\u226550\u00a0years were antibody-positive (\u22650.5 EU\/ml). At Visit 4, all participants were antibody-positive; 82.0 and 47.7% of participants aged &amp;lt;50 and\u2009\u226550\u00a0years had antibody levels &amp;gt;4 EU\/ml, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>One-dose IM vaccine was effective as PrEP for priming the immune system in both age groups, resulting in rapid development of antibodies 7\u00a0days after commencing simulated PEP. If there is insufficient time to complete a standard PrEP schedule, one-dose IM could be considered as an alternative schedule for short trips, rather than not offering travellers any doses at
