Suggest Rabipur Vaccination Dosage After Saliva Contamination
Please take last dose of vaccination at 30 days from dog saliva incident
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
As per international recommendations, one dose of Rabipur (the vaccine) should be administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30 in the deltoid muscle in adults.
Since you started late, day 1 is actually day 4, day 3 is day 6, day 5 is day 9 and day 10 is day 14. Therefore it will be good if you take the last dose on day 26 and this will be equal to day 30 after dog saliva on your feet probably over a scratch.
Taking Rabipur on 30 days after the dog saliva contamination will be best. Please do not worry.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
