Hi Doctor, As Suggested, I Started My Anti- Rabies Vaccination

Posted on Sun, 8 Dec 2019

Question: Hi Doctor, As suggested, I started my anti-rabies vaccination from the beginning today. But, the nurse who was administering me the vaccine, spilled about 30 per cent of the vaccine while reconstituting it. Now, here is my question. I want to restart the vaccination process from the beginning as it wasn't administered properly today. Is there any harm in restarting the anti-rabies vaccination process from the beginning and counting today's dose as null and void? Please suggest as I am very worried.

Hi,
Welcome to the 'Ask a doctor' service.
I have read your question and below is my answer.

The nurse have spilled much portion of vaccine according to mentioned history.

So you can restart the vaccination schedule. You do not need to count the today's dose as it was not given in proper dose.

Be careful from next time and get vaccination from trained staff or doctor.
