<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.hello, my husband was bitten by our dog on july 1, 2011. does he need to have a anti rabies vaccine now? I cannot remember the exact year when our dog had antirabies vaccine may be about 4 years ago. Our dog is ok right now. What should we do? my husband is 52 years old. not hypertensive, 58 in hieght.  <response>: Hello and thanks for your query. If your husband was bitten by the dog in 2011, there is no point in taking the injection nowit should be ideally taken with 24 hours or in the shortest possible time after a bite. But since you still have the dog, you should definitely do the following:1. Take regular vaccinations for the dog as recommended by your vet2. Both you and your husband take the preventive vaccine against rabies so that you will be protected if ever the dog bites again. Ask your doctor for the pre-exposure prophylaxis vaccine against rabies. If you follow the above steps you would be fine. Hope I have answered your question. Good day and take care.
