Should I Take Anti Rabipur Injection For Rat Bite?
Hi , My age is 26 yrs old and a rat bite me one day ago the I went to the doctor and he gave me one Tetanus injection and one dose of Anti Rabipur injection and this injection will continue for 5times . So My question is should I take that injections or not?
It is not required to take it if bitten by a house rat. Rabies has been reported from some Asian countries following a rat but is extremely rare. It is not necessary to take the Rabipurvaccine in bite cases by house rats. However, it is necessary to take this vaccine in consultation with an infectious disease physician when bitten by wild rats/rodents.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
