Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the opening of a docket to obtain comment on the Draft Infection Control in Healthcare Personnel: Epidemiology and Control of Selected Infections Transmitted Among Healthcare Personnel and Patients: Rabies Section (Draft Guideline: Rabies Section). The Draft Guideline: Rabies Section updates the Rabies section of the Guideline for infection control in health care personnel, 1998 (1998 Guideline), Part E: Epidemiology and Control of Selected Infections Transmitted Among Health Care Personnel and Patients and its corresponding recommendations in Part II of the 1998 Guideline: "14. Rabies." The updated recommendations in the Draft Guideline: Rabies Section are intended for use by the leaders and staff of occupational health services. These updated recommendations will help facilitate the provision of occupational infection prevention and control services to healthcare personnel (HCP) who have been exposed or infected and may be contagious to others in the workplace.
