Suggested Taking Anti Rabies Vaccine As Precautionary Measure. Missed The Second Shot On 7th Day. Can It Be Taken The Next Day?
Hi I am working in animal welfare in India and as a precautionary measure have been told to take anti rabies vaccine Rabipur. My first shot was on 30/5/13 and I was due for a follow up vaccine yesterday (i.e. after 7 days as instructed on the pack) but missed taking it. Is it ok if I take it today or is the vaccine shot effective only if taken on the 7th day?
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Before exposure 3 injections are advise. 1 st you have taken , 2nd dose you can take 7-8 days ,so need not to worry , get in today. Next and last as schedule 14 days. Few doctor like 21 days ( 3rd dose ,but I like 14 days) Good luck. Dr. HET
