Dear sir,my 12 years old daughter was given three shots of rabipur vaccine in march 2014 for pet dog s bite whose anti rabies vaccine was due in april end 2014.Since the dog has been vaccinated and again bit my daughter s hand,punctured her skin to her blood vessels,should i get her vaccinated again ?The pet dog does not come in contact with the stray dogs and generally kept in confinement.Thank you !
Hi, I understand that your daughter took 3 anti rabies vaccine shots in March. This is a standard dose schedule and is recommended. The dog is healthy and vaccinated so there in no immediate risk from rabies. You have also mentioned that the dog is at home and never comes in contact with strays. With the above information, it is best to give your daughter a single shot of the same vaccine. This will act as a booster dose and since 6 months are over since the last vaccine dose, this will be beneficial for her. Please be sure you are giving her the same vaccine and its only single time.
