Many people know that rabies vaccine should be injected as soon as possible after being bitten by a mad dog or a stray dog. But recently, the news exposed that a woman died after being injected with rabies vaccine. In fact, many people still have a huge misunderstanding about rabies vaccine!
On June 20, Ms. long was bitten by a dog and went to Xi'an Central Hospital for rabies vaccine injection. After that, she went to the hospital on time for vaccine injection. Unexpectedly, on July 18, Ms. long died of rabies.
Let Ms. Long's husband Ma Hongzhou puzzling is, vaccinated, why or left? According to the doctor of the outpatient department of the disease control and prevention center of Shaanxi Province, rabies vaccine has 4 and 5 vaccinations. Generally, one dose of rabies vaccine is given on the 0 (day of injection), 3, 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Rabies vaccination must be completed on time. She stressed that even complete immunization does not necessarily completely isolate the disease. Generally, antibodies are produced 28 days after vaccination. In addition, because the bite site and the severity of the wound are different, the speed of the onset is also different. Rabies can occur as soon as 5 to 10 days, or as slowly as one or two months. That is to say, rabies may occur before the whole process of immunization has been completed. (this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.

What are the mistakes of rabies vaccine?
Myth 1: no bleeding, no vaccination
We divide the degree of skin exposure into three levels. The first level exposure is the common contact with animals in the process of feeding. The second level exposure is the bite or scratch by pets. The skin is slightly damaged, but there is no bleeding. The third level exposure is the serious bite and bleeding.
From the second exposure, it is necessary to inject according to the procedure. If the third exposure is reached, in addition to the normal rabies vaccine, rabies immunoglobulin should be added.
Myth 2: need to be vaccinated when bitten
We don't advocate getting vaccinated after being bitten because it's not necessary. Unless it can be determined that the person who is biting is at the onset of rabies or carrying rabies virus. Generally speaking, only a few people are infected with rabies virus, so it is no longer advocated for rabies vaccine for human bites.

Myth 3: no need to vaccinate pets without being bitten
Most pet owners only get vaccinated after being hurt by animals. We suggest that rabies vaccine should be injected before the second exposure to prevent and protect the disease. Prevent yourself from accidentally being scratched or bitten, and do not know how to infect the virus.
The way to inject is to inject three times, that is, after the first injection, every 7 days, the second injection, and then every 21 days, the third injection. After that, every year, the injection is safe.
Myth 4: the incubation period of rabies is several decades
Some people say that rabies can be latent for 20 or 30 years, which is not scientific. The incubation period of rabies is generally from one month to one year, and the infection rate is 40% - 50% after being bitten. Once the disease comes on, the course of disease does not exceed 10 days, and the mortality rate is as high as 100%.
