Are 5 Doses Of Tetanus Shot Advisable After Being Bitten By A Puppy?
hello sir, I am pregnant lady. My 2 month old puppy had bitten me last month and immediately I took one dose of IDRV injection. I had my 2 tetanus injection already. But I missed the rest of 3 doses. My puppy is fine now even he never had antirabbies vaccination. Will there be any consequence in my body since I missed the rest 3 doses. Kindly answer
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, ideally the vaccination need to be completed it is the rule and it can not be taken as granted if nothing ever happens in incomplete vaccination, nor this is the criteria, it has to be completed the given dose hope this information helps.
