Rabies Fear Consultation

2023-06-14 18:22:13
Hello, I am providing some context, I was bitten by a dog on 10th June evening. The wound is on the lower leg above ankle. I have been experiencing some mild fever , lethargy and body ache since 11th June. I was vaccinated for Rabies back in Feb-March (last day of vaccination -14th March ). However, out of the 5 vaccines I took, 1 or maybe 2 max were administered in the glutal region and remaining in deltoid region, that is against WHO advisory. I was advised by a physician that my dosage is sufficient I shouldn't take any more dosage. I took another gluteal booster shot (despite repeated requests to nurse and I took one today on 14th June in Deltoid. I am scared about these symptoms, I am losing sleep and very anxious and stressed. Is my vaccination enough for Rabies protection?

The only perfect answer to your question can come from Rabies antibodies level test. I don't know in which all places it is available. At present you should get treatment for local infection in the wounds on your leg .

Don't worry your vaccination is appropriate. Some time it's not rabies but bacterial infection due to the bite. And your symptoms look to me associated to that.so go for detailed consultation with physician. Good luck

Yes sir, you're adequately protected against rabies. Once you take vaccine post exposure one your protection is as high as 5 years and the most effective time is 4 months. So not an issue... If you still are doubtful you may consult I'll be happy to help you. PS: Rabies shot is never given gluteally if you ever take rabies shot again make sure you get on deltoid
