Should The Second Dose Of Anti Rabies Be Given Within One Year?

Hi, My 12 years old daughter was bitten by a pet dog (chow chow), last year she was also bitten by a dog, almost more than 1 year ago, she was been vaccinated with anti rabies last year when she was bitten... do I need to bring her to a doctor to have an anti rabies vaccine again?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi! when she was bitten by a dog last year, was she given Rabies Immunoglobulin aside from the rabies vaccine? Did she complete the vaccine series? If you completed the series, you still have to bring her for anti rabies but instead of being injected on day 0, 3, 7 and 14 after the bite, she will just get 2 anti rabies shots on day 0 and day 3 after the bite. No need for the rabies immunoglobulin. Clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water as well.
Hope I was able to help you. have a good day!

Sincerely,
