Hello Doctor. I had taken full course of Rabipur 3 months back. Today my dog bit me accidently and I got a deep cut in my foot. The dog is 6 months old and has allready been given all the rabies injection. Is there a need of again taking the anti rabies vaccination in this case?
Hi... It is required for you to take the rabies vaccination. Rabies infection-results in encephalomyelitis (infection of the brain).-The incubation period is usually 3-12 weeks, but the range is 4 days to 19 years.-early symptoms are-wound infection, headache, fever, malaise (generalized body aches).-Progression is to HY Chat Doctor. -Death results from respiratory paralysis. Things to do 1) wash the wound with clean running water and soap.2) Do not suture the wound.3) take in tetanus toxic 4) take Raipur vaccination: since you have previously received a complete course of primary immunization, you should receive two doses of Raipur; one on each of days 0and 3, respectively. This is independent of the interval to the last immunization. Administration of rabies immunoglobulin is not required.5) keep the wound clean and
