Rat bite vaccine

2017-07-25 13:06:03
My son was bit on the toe by a big rat. We gave him one shot of zoonovac-v as Rabipur was not currently available. Is zoonovac safe? One dr suggested that rabies injection is not required for rat bite while another did. Is rabies injection required for rat bite? Son is feeling weak and little feverish after one shot of vaccine. Is it normal?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. See let me tell you one thing, its entirely upto you to give it or not. .it's always better to be safe than to be sorry. So we suggest to get immunised. If you have a problem or don't want to, then by all means you can say no. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
