Injection site closing

2023-09-19 06:59:11
How much time our body takes to close the injection site on its own ?? Especially the intramuscular injections site ... will it take a week to close on its own ... are we prone to infection in that area ?? I also work in an ngo so I have a lot of dog exposure there... So I happen to get exposed to a dog's saliva on the injection site 1 day after injection for rabies That injection site looks reddish now and irritated Should i have to repeat the vaccination ??? I attached a picture below So I just to wanted to know whether Intramuscular injection site closes immediately after the shot is given ??

It will take 4 to 5 days approximately so better to cover that area with bandage. No need to worry after that.
