Had Dog Scratch On The Chest. Worried About Infection
Hi, Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic. I advise you to start anti rabies vaccination after the advise of your physician as early as possible. If the dog is healthy even 10 days after the bite you can discontinue the remaining shots of anti rabies vaccines. I advise you to consult your physician as early as possible for the vaccination advise. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
