Rabipur Injection Health Feed

You need not take the vaccine again if you take an anti-rabies injection and after 1 month a dog again scratch

Rabies infection is caused by the rabies virus. The virus is spread through the saliva of infected animals. Infected animals can spread the virus by biting another animal or a person.
In rare cases, rabies can be spread when infected saliva gets into an open wound or the mucous membranes, such as the mouth or eyes. This could occur if an infected animal were to lick an open cut on your skin.
You should seek and immediate medical consultation if symptoms are persisting.
Once a rabies ...more

Dear lybrateuser,
-You don't have to start again, complete the last dose it will give adequate cover.

No... If vaccination is taken in time then there are no chances of getting it until the vaccination is faulty.

No you should continue with the vaccination that you are already going on. You don't need to restart your vaccination from day 0 neither do you need to take any extra dose. Continue with the dose and type of vaccine that you are already taking.

Rabies is a 100% mortality disease if you acquire it better to take vaccination as soon as possible, it will be beneficial to you in future also.

If you are sure that the dog who bite you was suffering from rabies, then you should take the vaccine as soon as possible.
If the dog was a stray dog, then also its necessary to take the vaccine soon.
A person who is exposed and has never been vaccinated against rabies should get 4 doses of rabies vaccine - one dose right away, and additional doses on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th days. They should also get another shot called Rabies Immune Globulin at the same time as the first dose.

No leave 1 month gap because for immunity to develop it takes minimum 1 month, else you can give 2/3 days after may 30th, don't give before that.

Hello, if it was only a scratch without any bleeding or breach in the skin or mucosa, only local hygiene would suffice, no vaccination required. Thank you.
