Dear user, the vaccine is extremely safe. Nothing to worry. But if you have a bleeding disorder or have had any allergic reaction to a vaccine taken previously, you should not take the vaccine as it will have side effects. Good luck. You can consult me for more doubts and medications regarding this by clicking on my photo and booking a consultation online, however if you found my answer helpful, please leave a thanks /good feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.

If a person is bitten or scratched by a dog, public health authority should be contracted promptly to assess the exposure and determine if preventative treatments for rabies, herpes B virus or other infections are needed. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.

Hello sir, I am a 27 year male abinash and I am from nepal. On 17th october 2021 one street dog was in pain because when I was trying to touch her hip area she tried to bite but when touching her head the dog was normal. Then I thought someone hit on her hip area because she can’t even move her so I injected painkiller intramuscularly but accidentally that needle pricked my finger and blood came out. I thoroughly wash it with alcohol sanitizer and took tetanus toxoid but next day dog was died and then I worried and start rabies vaccination from 19 october but unfortunately hrig (human rabies immunoglobulin) was not available and didn’t took it then I continue start to take vaccine (vero cell) intradermal as according to schedule and today is 7th day and I took 3rd dose of anti rabies vaccine without hrig so, my question is just assuming the dog was rabid then anti-rabies vaccine alone will protect me or not. I am very afraid because I didn't take hrig so please give me a suggestion. What further do. Or anti rabies vaccine will be sufficient for me. Please reply to me.

The likelihood of tetanus is greatest following deep, dirty puncture wounds where there is little bleeding and an absence of oxygen. In this case no need of tet vac in my opinion.

You can get it through a cut or other wound. Tetanus bacteria are commonly present in soil, dust, and manure. The tetanus bacteria can infect a person even through a tiny scratch. But you are more likely to get tetanus through deep punctures from wounds created by nails or knives. Additional doses every 10 years are recommended. After three doses almost everyone is initially immune. In those who are not up to date on their tetanus immunization a booster should be given within 48 hours of an inju...more
