Although existing rabies vaccinations effectively protect against exposure through a rabid animal's bite, the efficiency of their protection against weaponized rabies virus disseminated by aerosols is uncertain. Current vaccinations are used systematically in both developing and developed countries. They are not required for people who have been exposed to rabies but do not intend to bite or lick another animal, or do not know how they were bitten/licked. People who have been fully vaccinated and still develop symptoms after being exposed to the virus must still receive treatment despite its inconclusive effect on future vaccines. The rabies virus can be weaponized by multiple methods, including exposing it to ultraviolet light, heat, chemicals, or infected blood to reduce its viability but not eliminate it. People who work with dogs may be at risk of exposure to weaponized rabies virus. If this occurs, they should follow recommended precautions as if any other exposure to rabies had occurred. In conclusion, yes, rabies can be weaponized.
