Rabies Vaccine Guide: How to fight? detailed
⭐ How is rabies transmitted?
The virus is present in the saliva of animals. Dogs spread more than cats, and bites spread more than scratches. The order of wound degree: third level exposure (bleeding)>second level exposure (no bleeding after skin breaking). Animal order: wild>free range>enclosed. If the wound without scab is licked by animals, it will also be infected. One of them is that the animal needs to scratch people within a few minutes after licking the paw to transmit the virus, because the rabies virus does not survive long in the air.
⭐ What kind of situation requires rabies vaccine?
I was scratched by a stray cat next door, and it broke a little skin but didn't bleed. It is certain that when you call or go to any hospital, the doctor will advise you to get vaccinated, because the mortality rate of rabies is 100%, and no one can afford this responsibility.
⭐ Is the ten day observation method useful?
That is to say, observe the injured animal for ten days after being injured. If the animal is still alive, it is unnecessary to give the back needle. I asked the doctor and told me that it was not safe, because rabies virus has an incubation period, and animals may not be infected with rabies virus, especially for wounds on the head and face.
⭐ How much is rabies vaccine? How?
I gave the vaccine of "Henan Yuanda" for 99 yuan a shot, five shots in total, the day of injury, the third day, the seventh day, the fifteenth day and the thirtieth day. The ingredient is hamster kidney cell. Generally, animal cells are not expensive, while drugs for human cells are more expensive.
1. Open Meituan to search for "rabies vaccine". Some vaccine stations can directly search for it. This is the way I found Weikangshi. This place is usually open until 9 p.m., which is very friendly to office workers.
2. You can also call the local CDC to ask where the vaccine can be delivered in your city, and the CDC can call Baidu directly.
⭐ What should we do if we miss the opportunity to play rabies vaccine?
If the first injection is not inoculated within 24 hours, you can go for it as long as you haven't got sick. Each injection should be given within the specified time. It is required to give the same medicine for several injections. However, if there are special circumstances, you can find the medicine with the same cell to replace the injection, or you can postpone it. However, each injection of the subsequent treatment course should be postponed for a few days (this is what I do). After the injection, the patient will be injured and immunized by animals within three months. After more than three months, the doctor will be consulted. It seems that the patient still needs injections, but there is no need to give five injections.
⭐ What is the difference between vaccine and serum?
The serum is an enhanced version of the vaccine, which can produce more antibodies. If it only breaks the skin or sheds a little blood, it is enough to vaccinate. If it is a child or has a deep wound, it is enough to vaccinate.
In a word, we should pay attention to that. Domestic cats should not be taken out or contacted with animals outside. When feeding stray animals, don't get too close. Sometimes animals don't hurt people intentionally, but they are afraid or careless. If you are injured by stray cats and dogs or stray cats and dogs, you must disinfect them in time to get vaccinated.
If you are timid, go ahead and fight as long as you are injured. It is not expensive to fight animal cells. It saves you from being nervous every day and the disease with 100% mortality can't stand the fluke mentality.
