Took Anti Tetanus And Verorab Vaccination After Dog Bite. Continue Taking Anti Rabies Vaccination?

Hello and welcome to HCM,

Thank you for your query.

There are 2 regimens that are followed for an anti-rabies regimen.

One is pre-exposure, advised for those people who are in constant contact with animals that could be infected with rabies.

The other is a post-exposure vaccination that is advised in cases when the individual has already been exposed to a possible rabid animal.

The post-exposure vaccine regimen HAS to be followed for all cases for the following days:

Day 0
Day 3
Day 7
Day 14
Day 28 (is normally given for an immuno-compromised individual, but it is difficult to conclude on whether a person is immuno-compromised or not, thus, we advise to this shot to everybody)

Kindly finish your regimen as rabies disease which has a reputation of 100% fatality.

I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to us anytime for further clarifications.

Best wishes.

Hi
Thanks for your query
As you know rabies is a fatal disease,so i advise you to complete your vaccination as per schedule that is 0,3,7,14 and 28. and take your remaining doses on time
Moreover scratch is on ear which comes under high risk area as it is near to brain.

Wishing you good health.
God bless.
