If your puppy bites you and you die of rabies within 10 days, you should get vaccinated now. Otherwise, if you do not die, there is no need for the vaccination. I also got vaccinated after 6 years. When I was young, children said the injection was very painful. They said especially for overweight people, scientists have determined that beyond 6 years, the possibility of getting the disease is almost zero. Rabies virus can infect even through a wound smaller than a needle hole! Warm-blooded animals can carry the rabies virus, usually transmitted by biting or scratching, through damaged mucous membranes to the victim or animal. The incubation period of rabies can be as short as 10 days or as long as several years. Once symptoms appear, the fatality rate is 100%. Therefore, if bitten by a pet, you must seek medical attention promptly and receive the rabies vaccine. The incidence rate is 30% to 70%. Getting vaccinated now is just the same—try to produce antibodies before symptoms appear. Explain to the doctor that it is an old wound, and they will give you a higher dose for the first injection. The vaccine here costs about 210 yuan. Wish you good health.
Hello, as long as you are bitten and the skin is broken by a dog, you should get the rabies vaccine promptly for good prevention. The best time to get the injection is within 24 hours of the dog bite, generally the earlier the better. There is no effective treatment after rabies symptoms appear, so prevention is key. If you are sure the dog did not break the skin, usually there is no big problem. It is recommended that during vaccination you eat a light diet, avoid spicy and fried foods, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid alcohol, smoking, and strong tea, and avoid excessive exercise.
