Regarding rabies vaccination

2025-07-29 11:02:34
I have a pet dog at home. On March 15 , he bit me accidentally. Since there was scratch with bleeding and my pet vaccination period expired by one month, I visited a hospital. They asked me to take 5 course vaccination ( rabivax) and tetanus,to be on safer side. I took and finished on april 14. My pet was given his vaccination one month back .On Sunday (July 16), while giving medicine for my pet, it bit me. There was a small scratch and very little bleeding on my hand. Do I have to take vaccination again. Do I have to visit hospital again. Can someone guide me Thanking you

No need of  full anti rabies vaccine  but you can take 2 doses of booster, since 3 months of first vaccination have just finished.

In case of repeat dog bite within 3 months of complete vaccination you don't need repeat vaccination as per WHO guidelines.

No, there's no need of full course rabies Vaccination again as there's a history of full course vaccination a month ago but to be on safer side i would recommend to take 2 booster dose pn day 0 (day of bite) and day 3 that's it Hope you find it helpful.
Next Steps
Take booster dose on day 0 and 3.
Health Tips
everytime when animal bites, first thing to do is wash that area with soap and water for straight 5-10 minute then go see the doctor for further management.
