Dear lybrate-user
it is possible for the rabies to be transmitted through water but rarely as the virus will not survive long in water.

Thanks for reaching out. I will strongly recommend that you take the vaccine course beacuse rabies is a very severe disease with very high mortality rate, please don't take any risk. Also you may check your rabies antibody titre by blood testing then if the report indicates low, then you will have to take the full course again. Please clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply a bandage/ band aid during the daytime. Take care.

no any problem. take plenty of water n liquid. atleast 3-3.5liters. urine become normal.
it's anxiety.

No, but if it is category 3 bite then you should take rabies immunoglobulin in addition to your normal vaccine course.

The period of cover varies from and is not fixed. Therefore booster doses are recommended after an exposure to be safe.

Most likely rabies virus was not transmitted to you. However yes, getting vaccinated may be helpful in rare chance that you were infected.

No. No need to take vaccine again if a bite occurs within 3 months of immunization. Take the last dose that's all that is needed.

It was necessary to know 1. whether this is Post Exposure Vaccination meaning 5 dose vaccination for confirmed or suspected Rabies Dog bite. 2. Site of injury and Grade of Injury. 3. Whether Rabies Immunoglobulin was indicated / advised? If 'Yes' whether given? This will throw light how serious was incident of bite. Normally it is expected first 3 doses are taken on exact day as mentioned. The last two can be delayed by few days. Now that you have missed 3rd dose due on 13th is taken on 17th Jul...more
