Average costs of PEP according to different schedules and methods of subsidization in relation to income.

The projected average per capita daily income for 2010 was USD 0.68 in rural areas and USD 1.55 in urban areas. PEP costs were calculated as: ((Cost per dose+(days lost per dose * daily income))*clinic visits; §: Scenario with government providing PEP to bite patient free-of-charge; ‡: Scenario with government providing PEP to bite patient free-of-charge from local health facilities (i.e. not only at district hospitals). ςThis regimen requires 4 hospital visits and therefore is equivalent in travel costs to the reduced Thai Red Cross ID regimen that uses less vaccine (0.1 ml/injection).
