Question
My child was bitten by a three-month-old puppy during the period when he was one shot away from completing the rabies vaccine. I don’t know which day it happened. He hasn’t said. The wound hasn’t healed yet. What should I do now? Is it too late to get vaccinated now?
Answer
There’s no need to worry if a child is being vaccinated for rabies; just follow the routine and complete the vaccine course, and appropriately check for antibody levels. You can add one or two extra shots after completing the vaccine to ensure safety. Also, it’s important to get adequate rest, adjust lifestyle, avoid spicy or cold foods, and boost the child’s immunity. It’s not too late to get vaccinated now.
