Is anti rabies necessary after dog bite if its vaccinated?
Patient: my mother got very minor bite by dog over two-three layers of cloth(Saree) 3 days back. she enquired about the dog. it is a pet dog & the owner told that it doesn't bite, it just holds.& it is proprly vaccinated.Is it necessary to get anti-rabies vaccination? Can it be started now? Doctor: If you are certain the dog has been vaccinated for rabies, there is no need for your mother to get the anti-rabies vaccination. If it's not certain, it's not too late for her to start the series. Hope this helps.
