If a vaccinated dog bites someone, do I still need to get vaccinated?
Vaccinated dogs also need injections after biting people, and they must be vaccinated in time. Although dogs have been vaccinated, a small number of dogs will not produce antibodies in the body after being vaccinated against rabies. This means that even if the dog has been vaccinated, it cannot be judged whether there is rabies virus in the body, and rabies is not yet effective. The fatality rate of this treatment method is very high, almost 100%. Therefore, after being bitten by a dog, you must immediately go to the hospital to inject rabies vaccine. Regardless of whether the biting dog has been vaccinated, for the sake of your own life safety, you must Get vaccinated immediately.
What to do after a dog bites:
1. After being bitten, you should immediately wash the wound with 20% soapy water and tap water for 20 minutes alternately. Above, forcefully squeeze out the blood from the wound and surrounding tissues at the same time.
2. If the bite is severe and you cannot handle it yourself, you need to go to the hospital for cleaning and disinfection, and infiltrate and inject rabies immune globulin around the wound.
3. Then go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or a community hospital to receive the rabies vaccine. Do not drink alcohol or strong tea during the vaccination period.
