Need information about Rabies
I have taken full course of rabies vaccination(5 dose) along with equin injection due rabid dog bite.
Last dose of that vaccine was on Mar 02, 2021.
My question: Now is it required to take rabies vaccination again after 6 month or 1 year for prevention of rabis.
And can we take covid vaccination in this month as we had taken last dose of rabies vaccine on Mar 02 and human immunoglobulin ARS injection (Equin) on Feb 02, 2021 at the time of dog bite.
Untill and unless you are bitten or scratched or licked by on an open wound by a dog, cat or monkey etc, you do not need to get rabies vaccination. But if such things happen to you within a year, you will have to get vaccinated for 0 day and 3rd day doses.
Now regarding Covid vaccination, yes you can and rather you should get Covid vaccination done.
Please consult for more detailed history taking and further management. Thank you.
