Should vaccination be taken after drinking unboiled milk?
Answered by
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
The milk will be pasteurized and rabies virus is very sensitive to heat and if any rabies virus it will be destroyed.
As you have taken a complete course of post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against rabies nothing to worry.
I would assure you nothing will happen. You are safe and please forget all your incidents and be happy.
Thank you
Don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Drinking milk of a rabid cow can transmit rabies, if you have any break in the oral mucosa.
As you have taken 5 shots of anti rabies vaccine recently you will have protective antibody titres, which will destroy the rabies virus if you have drank the milk of a rabid cow also.
So the chance of getting rabies in your case is not possible.
Thank you.
Transmission through milk is possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is my privilege to answer your query,
Drinking a milk of rabid cow can transmit rabies. The rabies virus will be excreted in the milk of a confirmed rabies cow.
As you have taken all the shots of anti rabies vaccine 8- 9 months back you will have protcetive titres to fight against rabies virus. The vaccination which you have taken will give protection for 5 years.
If you would have drunk the milk of confirmed rabid cow then only I would have suggested you to take anti rabies vaccine otherwise I would have counseled them not to take vaccine
Thank you..
