Is there a need for taking rabies vaccine after a dog bite?

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

As far as I know, rabies disease has not been encountered in your country for many years. And anti-rabies vaccine immunoglobulins are not commonly used in hospitals or pharmacies, as most dogs are vaccinated. If the dog is sick (agitated or furious), taking an antirabies vaccine shot within 72 hours can help prevent this disease. Anyway, you can seek more information in the department of infectious diseases, in the ER (emergency room) of the UHC Mother Teresa, or in the Public health institute. In the ER of the infectious diseases department, you can also perform a physical exam and some blood lab tests.

I hope this helps you.
