Dog Bite Observed or Not?
Hii,
Should I have to observe the dog at the same time as mine getting vaccinated? Or if I'm getting vaccinated, I don't need to see the dog?
Someone says u should have to observe the dog,then why am I taking the vaccine?
I am very confused.If I am taking all my vaccine at the time then why should I observe the dog.
It's very horrible for me at this time to observe the dog every time,
All people are laughing on me..but they don't know the mental condition of mine..
I have family,i am the father of two daughters That's why I am more worried..😔😔

If you are getting post bite vaccinations correctly, then don't worry. Observation is not mandatory.
If the dog is anywhere related to you, then observation is needed because you and your family are going to have contact with the dog. If it is a stray dog, then it is not mandatory.

Whether you observe that dog or not, complete post bite vaccination course of 5 antirabies vaccine is mandatory so it's upto you. But 1 thing is important if it's a Pet dog then observation is needed so if that dog dies then necessary action need to be taken for the safety of other people those who are in contact with that dog.

Anti rabies vaccination (post bite) is of prime importance. If there was a dog bite, vaccination is necessary and not just one, multiple doses. The observation is suggested to know if the dog that bit is showing any symptoms of rabies or not. If symptoms are seen necessary measures may be taken.
If it is taking a toll on you, observing the dog isn't a necessity.
Next Steps
Getting vaccination done on time is the best you can do. your family is absolutely safe.
Health Tips
in any dog bite firstly place the wound under running water for 10-15 minutes and wash with soap and water.if bleeding put pressure to stop it. then visit a clinic for vaccination as early as possible.
