Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM.
There is a chance of rejection whenever transplant patient uses vaccination with immunoglobulin that can modulate your immunity.
Rabies is transmitted from animals, especially dogs.
There is no need to take rabipore course after ratbite, especially after so much time.
Tetanus toxoid injection, proper wound care and antibiotic course are usually given for ratbite.
Non infected animal will not transmit rabies virus.
So, don't get worried. Take proper care for ratbite as advised.
Best wishes. TC.
