Rabies vaccination time

When people are bitten by a dog, the first thing they think of is to get a rabies vaccine. In fact, this is also a way to help yourself prevent rabies. However, the time for rabies vaccine injection is also subject to certain restrictions. If the time period has passed, the rabies vaccine will not be effective. Let us take a detailed look at some of the times and various issues you need to pay attention to when injecting the rabies vaccine.

After being bitten by a dog or some other animal, it is very necessary to get a rabies vaccine, because it can help us prevent some viral infections to a certain extent, thereby effectively protecting our own health and reducing the threat of rabies infection.

1. How to deal with dog bites?

After being bitten by a dog, the wound should be cleaned immediately with 20% soapy water regardless of whether there is bleeding or not, and then disinfected with iodine. Then go to the hospital immediately to get rabies vaccine. The vaccine needs to be given in a series of 5 doses and completed within one month. Respectively on the 0th day (the day of the first injection), the 3rd day, the 7th day, the 14th day and the 28th day. The quarantine station is no longer responsible for vaccinations. So everyone should not go to the epidemic prevention station anymore. So as to avoid going the wrong way. Every district hospital in Beijing has designated injection units. For example, Xuanwu District is Xuanwu Hospital. Xicheng District is the People's Hospital. In Haidian District is Haidian Hospital. If you are not sure about other things, you can call the district hospitals for consultation.

2. How to choose rabies vaccine?

Currently in the country, the state has designated the use of two vaccines. One is imported vaccines. One is a domestically produced vaccine. The price of the two vaccines differs by almost twice. The imported price is 69 yuan per stick. So 5 pieces would cost about 350 yuan. The price of domestic vaccines is 43 yuan per dose. The price for 5 pieces is 215 yuan. There is actually no difference in effectiveness between the two vaccines. The only difference was in the incidence of adverse reactions. The appearance rate of domestic products is slightly higher than that of imported products, but only slightly. Even if there are adverse reactions, it is not a big deal. So when choosing a vaccine, you can choose according to the situation. But I don’t think that imported things are necessarily good.

3. The statement that it is invalid after more than 24 hours.

Many people spread the rumor that rabies vaccine must be given within 24 hours, otherwise it will be ineffective.

I searched all the information online and didn't see any time limit on the use of rabies vaccine. Later, I found the answer in a message on the website of the domestic vaccine. The earlier the vaccine is administered, the better the effect and the greater the chance of being protected. What if it exceeds 24 hours? Don't worry, the doctor will recommend you to double the dose when injecting the first shot, which is 2 in 1. One injection is actually two doses, and of course the price is doubled. So no matter how long it has been since you were bitten by a dog, as long as you have not shown any early signs of rabies, get the shot right away. Don't think you can stop injecting after 24 hours. Remember that once rabies breaks out, the mortality rate is 100%.

The above is an introduction to the time for rabies vaccination. I hope that through this introduction everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of the handling of rabies vaccine. In daily life, if you are accidentally bitten by a dog or some animal, you should receive this vaccine injection in time.
