Patient's question:
1. For example, if a person is bitten by a domestic dog that has not been vaccinated against rabies, and if they receive the rabies vaccine in a timely manner, is it 100% guaranteed that they will not get rabies?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best for you to get the rabies vaccine in your situation. Since rabies is a fatal disease, any contraindications are secondary in the interest of saving lives. Therefore, there are no contraindications to vaccination after being bitten by an animal with rabies. There is a possibility of rabies infection, and it is recommended to get vaccinated within 24 hours.
