The special tobacco leaf tax (20 percent of the. procuring price), a form of local tax revenue, is a. pervasive incentive for local authorities to increase the. production of tobacco leaf, resulting in an oversupply. of tobacco leaf as well as a lower tobacco leaf price.
Note that rabies immunoglobulin is only ad â¦ ministered after suspected exposure to rabies, not as a preventative measure. Pre-exposure vaccination for humans costs between $625 and $1110 and much less for pets.
One limiting factor in the use of preexposure rabies immunization is the cost of the vaccine in most developed countries. In the United States, rabies vaccine may cost more than $300 per dose, resulting in a cost to the patient in excess of $900 for three 1.0-mL intramuscular injections. As a way of decreasing the cost of preexposure immunization, some practitioners have used a 0.1-mL dose of rabies vaccine administered intradermally. At approximately $45 per dose in the early 1980s, many people already considered the vaccine too expensive.
