My 29 year old son is going to Haiti to work for a non-profit. At the last memeny, when he was getting trained in Chile he was told that he needed to get a prevent vaccination for rabies. He was given one shot in Chile last Thursday- Verorab k1141-3. Next Wednesday he is coming back to the USA and has to stay to complete the rabies shots before he goes to Haiti. Is it possible he can restart the 3 shot series if more than 7 days has passed, and is this safe?
HelloPre-exposure prophylaxis is occasionally given to persons at high risk (including certain travelers to rabies endemic areas). A primary vaccine schedule is given on days 0, 7 and 21 or 28. Irrespective of previously vaccinated or not, so in your son case he must take all three injection as mentioned. Previously one injection taken does not matter and no risk, because already 7 days passed.
