Hello Sir/ Madame My son 4.5 is years. We suspect a stray dog has scratched on his leg by nails or may be a tooth bite. There was a very minor mark on the skin and no blood oozed out. He cried aloud and signed something about dog which make us suspicious. He is having profound hearing loss and we had done cochlear implant on right ear. His spoken language is still not fully developed. My question is that it s Ok to go for anti rabies vaccine when in doubt about the exposure. Will there be any side effect. For your information we are planning to have surgery for his left ear for cochlear implant. Thank you very much.
