Vaccine at govt hospital
I am from Telangana state. Last Sunday, I had a dog bite. I consulted to a private clinic. There the doctor suggested to get vaccinated at Govt hospital and also the rabies vaccine is shortage in medical shops. Not only the doctor, medical shop owner and few of my frnds suggested the same. So finally I had to take vaccine in govt hospital. Basically I dnt prefer govt hospital due to lack of hygiene and big phobia that they re-use same syringe/needle which causes infections.
Now am worried about the syringe/needle used for me , were new or not.

You don't have to worry. It's highly unlikely for such an incident where a syringe is reused to occur.

Dont worry.no one in a govt hospital prefers to reuse needles as they arentt spending from their pocket.
