About rabies vaccination

2020-09-02 07:00:59
I got one month old puppy a few weeks ago. I am not sure but probably I just got a little scratch at my feet I'm not sure whether it's by the puppy or something else but since I was concerned so I went to a local hospital and there is prescribed me post exposure prophylaxis and write me a prescription for 5 vaccine at an interval of 0347 and 28. today I got my third vaccine on both arms at my triceps with insulin syringe but after the shot when I walked out of the hospital I saw the blood oozing out from my left arm at the site of injection  so I am a little bit of concern that whether my dose is affected by it or not and that's why I'm a little bit of worried. Although I returned the puppy and I can not trace him to see if he's okay.

As there rabies vaccine  can be given intra dermal and intramuscular , intradermal usually doesn't bleed and intramuscular sometimes can bleed little...usually its given by intramuscular route . Hence no need to repeat dose and worry.

Don’t worry. Every injection site does bleed a little. Your vaccination dose is not affected by it.
