Hi Doctor. My name is Pablo and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was bitten by an street dog, the puppy lives in a poor house and it can be qualified as a street dog. He bit me in my left heel, close to the bone and I bleeded a little. This was on July 14th, 2014. The following day I went to a public hospital and they gave me a shot of Rabipur (first shot
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a 100% fatal disease but 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. Dog is a known reservoir of rabies virus and can transmit rabies by biting. In your case as you have taken three shots of antirabies vaccine and unable to take fourth shot of anti rabies vaccine. As the dog is available for observation for more than 10 days, it suggests me that the dog is not having rabies, and you are safe from getting rabies. So the fourth shot of anti rabies vaccine in your case is not required and nothing to worry about missing this shot. Thank you.
