Hi Doctor,I am 47 years Male. I had a street dog bite in February 2010 and taken Rabipur schedule as 5 injections.Now again today I had a pet dog bite. Do I have to repeat Rabipur schedule of 5 injections now ? What is the validity (in years) for Rabipur?
Hello. Welcome ChatDoctorThis time you have a bite from pet dog. My advice to you is if your dog is immunized again rabies you need not panic. Just wait and observe your dog for 7 days for abnormal behavior. If your dog is not immunized than you need to take full course of Raipur irrespective of your previous shots taken. Apart from this if wound is deeper than you should show it to the nearest doctor and get it Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
