Rabies Vaccine

2021-07-23 13:24:43
I took the rabies vaccine before 3 to 4 months.Should I have to take another if I get a dog bite,where the validation of my dog's vaccine is over? To be clear,I got a dog bite 4 months after the rabies vaccination and my dog hasn't taken the vaccine yet. So is there any issues with my safety?

No need to take another vaccine as the Rabid dog that transfers the virus usually does within 10-15 days.....but be careful for the next time.

If the animal bite victim has documented proof of complete PEP or PrEP within last 3 months, then adequate wound washing would be required in case of re-exposure, but no vaccine or RIG is needed in such cases.
