How Long Does Immunity Last After Receiving Rabies Vaccination?
Question: during dog bite injection dog again bite wht do do first course complete or do else
Brief Answer:
Continue same schedule, no need to repeat from beginning
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. if the rabies vaccine is in progress and dog bites, then no need to start the dose from beginning. However repeated shot of rabies immunoglobulin may be considered for passive immunity. Rest already administered shots work as pre exposure prophylaxis for recurrent bite. So no need to repeat the dose from zero and continue with the course completion as scheduled.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
