Can rabies transmitted human to human
After dog bite I took two doses of booster on 22nd and 25th March 2024, but due to dog bite 10 months ago I took the full course of dog bite on 2023 June.
Yesterday on 29th March 2024 by mistake my teeth touched my son hard...just scratch but no blood...can my son take ARV???
How many hours can the rabies virus last in our body after vaccination???
And after how many hours will the vaccine become effective???

Hi
Vaccine will take at least 2 weeks for vaccine to produce enough antibodies.
Secondly it is unlikely your bite could transmit rabies.. almost never heard.
Next Steps
Please take second opinion from a GP/ ER physician who are well aware of the current protocols.
