Was Bitten By Dog, Taken 4 Anti Rabies Injection. Got Bitten Second Time. Should I Go To Doctor Again? How Long Does Anti Rabies Vaccine Stay In Human Body?
Hello, I was bitten by my dog early this year. It s a small cut but still, I went to the doctor,and she gave me 4 injections of anti- rabies . The dog that bit me still lives up to this day and he s healthy. Now again, I got a bite by my sister s dog. I want to know how long does the anti-rabies vaccination last in human body to prevent rabies or should i go to the doctor again? Thank you very much.
Hello, As you were already immunised previously with anti rabies vaccine, You should only undergo a booster dose series this time. You should visit the doctor again and anti rabies vaccine should be given on days 0, 7 and 28 days of dog bite this time. Thank you.
