Already vaccinated but bitten by a dog again? 🐕💉 Here is exactly what you need to know about Rabies boosters.
In this video,
Dr. Tushyanth (MD, General Medicine) from Viva Hospital, Tirupur, explains the two critical situations for dog bite vaccination:
1️⃣ Bitten within 3 Years of previous vaccination:
If you have completed a full course before, you only need Booster Doses on Day 0 and Day 3.
❌ No Rabies Immunoglobulin injection needed.
2️⃣ Bitten after 3 Years (or incomplete previous course):
Treat it as a fresh bite.
Take the full 4-dose regimen (Day 0, 3, 7, and 21 or 28).
⚠️ Immediate First Aid:
Wash the wound for 15 minutes with soap and running water immediately after any dog bite, lick, or scratch.
