With the improvement of living standard, there are more and more families keeping pet dogs. Therefore, it is inevitable to be scratched and bitten by dogs and cats. So after being bitten by dogs and cats, we must get rabies vaccine as soon as possible, which is the safest way. What are the precautions after getting rabies vaccine?
1. Injection on time
Usually after being scratched and bitten by dogs and cats, rabies vaccine injection is not finished in one shot. According to the doctor's order, there are still several shots to be injected in the CDC. If you forget to inject or the interval is too short or too long, the efficacy of the vaccine will be affected. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange time for the vaccination on time.
Tip: in order to prevent forgetting the injection time, you can set it on the mobile memo according to the time specified by the doctor, so that the mobile phone reminds you to go to the CDC in time to inject the vaccine.
2. Diet taboo
After the first shot of rabies vaccine, we should start to avoid drinking, strong tea, hot pepper and other stimulating foods, as well as chocolate, coffee, cola and other caffeinated foods. You won't be able to give up until 2 weeks after all the vaccinations.
3. Avoid fatigue
After the first injection of the vaccine, we should rest reasonably and do not participate in sports activities that consume a lot of physical strength, such as football, so as to avoid excessive fatigue, physical overdraft, catching cold, cold and overreaction.
4. Validity of antibody
Rabies vaccination is not once and for all. Usually after all the vaccinations, your rabies antibody is only valid for 6 months. Therefore, even if you have received rabies vaccine, if you are scratched and bitten by dogs and cats again after 6 months, you should go to the CDC to get rabies vaccine in addition to washing the wound with soap water in time.
5. Regular injection
Rabies vaccine should be injected to a regular hospital or disease control center with rescue equipment. Once there is an allergic reaction, it can be rescued in time.
