Brief summary

Primary Objective: To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at Day 14 (to assess the immune response after 3 doses \[2-2-2\]) and Day 42 (to assess the immune response after 4 doses \[2-2-2-0-2\]) when administered as standalone in healthy pediatric population or co-administered with HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in healthy adults. Secondary Objectives: * To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at Day 14 (to assess the immune response after 3 doses \[2-2-2\]) when co-administered with ERIG (Group 3 and Group 4) at Day 0 in healthy adults * To describe the immune response induced by VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine at D90 (to assess the immune response 90 days post-rabies simulated exposure) when administered as standalone in healthy pediatric population or co-administered with HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in healthy adults * To describe the safety profile of VRVg-2 and Verorab vaccine as standalone in pediatric population or when co-administered with ERIG (Group 3 and Group 4) or HRIG (Group 5 and Group 6) at Day 0 in adults, after each vaccination.

Detailed description

The duration of each participant's participation in the study is approximately 7 months (28 day-vaccination period followed by 6 month safety follow-up period).

QUADRUPLE (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking description

Modified double-blind: the participant (or legally acceptable representative) and the Investigator remain unaware of the treatment assignments throughout the study. An unblinded qualified trial staff member will prepare and administer the appropriate vaccine but will not be involved in the immunogenicity and safety evaluations.
