What Causes Flu Symptoms After Had Shot Of ERIG/anti-tetanus/verorab For Dog Bite?
Hi doctors! I was bitten by my puppy in the neck the wound was barely a scratch but it bled a little, it took me about 6 hrs to get to the hospital since I was researching if I needed a shot or not, I got my shot of ERIG, anti tetanus, and Verorab. Right now I feel kind of light headed and I feel like I m coming down with a flu. I want to know if it s because of the vaccines or is it because of the virus? This puppy of mine bit two people before me and he is still healthy. Should I be worried? Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the puppy is healthy for 10 days after it has bitten you you need not worry.
Any way continue 3 shots of verorab.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose

Take care
