Only adequate wound washing would be required in case of re-exposure where animal bite victim has documented proof of complete PEP or PrEP within last three months.
One-site Intramuscular administration of an entire vaccine vial on days 0 and 3 for more than three months of complete PEP. People who have previously received full post-exposure treatment with neural tissue vaccines (NTV) or vaccine of unproven potency or CANNOT document complete previous PEP or PrEP treatment should be treated as fresh case and given full PEP.
PEP-Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
PrEP-Pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis
Next Steps
Only wound washing
