Can A Rabies Vaccinated Dog Blood Cause Rabies In Humans?

Can a dog rabies vaccine cause the virus in humans if it comes in contact with human blood?

Can a rabies-vaccinated-dog blood cause rabies when it comes in contact with human blood on an open wound?

Can be riskful to touch the dog's vaccination-book some weeks after he did the rabies vaccine (since the vet touched the vaccine by massaging and then the book)?



Thanks

Rabies vaccine is made from killed virus. Therefore exposure to the vaccine cannot cause rabies. What will be present in the dog's blood after the vaccine is given will be antibodies to the rabies virus. This prevents and does not cause rabies, so any exposure to the vaccinated dog's blood will not cause rabies. You also cannot get rabies from touching anything (such as a book) that has had vaccine on it. So nothing to worry about. Hope this helps.
