Asking For Self, Male 32, Faisalabad

1 week ago, i got a scratch from stray cat, which seems to be rabid, i washed the scratches and went to government hospital they did my vaccination of vaxirab N. Intradermal and Tetnus vaccine also The cat was killed by my friend on the spot, because of rabid.

Rabies vaccines are administered as 1 ml IM ( Deltoid/Gluteal) .

while HRIG ( Human rabies immunoglobulins) are given as half around the wound and half IM.

Schedule:
0,3,7,14,28 in non immunized individual
0,3,7 in immunized people

as you are already immunized in 2021 so 3 doses are enough.

but if you experience any risk you can have a booster dose later.

Sir! trust the Govt hospitals they have the authentic vaccines in there ....
otherwise multiple variants of Varibax N are available in market which you won't be able to differentiate...

First of all it's not that much to worry about because the site is very far and good thing is you are already immunized and got another vaccine.
