Regarding anti rabies vaccine
My pet bit me when I was trying to feed medicine. Actually it was like scratch on the face. But there was bleeding from my nose. It is actually vaccinated and next course of vaccination is march for my pet. Next day morning I went to hospital, they asked me to take 5 course of anti rabies vaccine (to be on safer side). I started it. I had couple of drinks at night and after this incident I went to hospital next day morning and took the 1st shot. Will drinking alchol one day before my 1st shot affect the efficacy. Is drinking forbidden for 28 days period of vaccination.

Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing your concern regarding the anti-rabies vaccination and the incident with your pet. It is good that you have started the course of anti-rabies vaccines as a precautionary measure, especially since there was bleeding involved.
Regarding your question about alcohol consumption, drinking alcohol one day before your first shot is unlikely to significantly affect the efficacy of the vaccine. However, it is generally advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption during the vaccination period to ensure your immune system can respond optimally to the vaccine. Moderate drinking is usually not a problem, but it is best to err on the side of caution.
Since your pet is vaccinated and the next course of vaccination is due in March, the risk is lower, but it is still important to complete the full course of the anti-rabies vaccine as recommended by the hospital.
I would recommend a consultation to discuss your specific situation in more detail and to address any further concerns you may have. Please feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two to schedule an appointment or for any additional advice.
