If you are bitten by a stray cat or dog, be sure to get the full vaccination within 24 hours. If bitten by a domesticated animal, full vaccination is also required when it is uncertain whether the animal has been vaccinated. If it is determined that the domesticated animal has been vaccinated, a 10-day observation can be taken after the bite. After being bitten by a domesticated dog or cat, the injured animal may be observed during the time after the bite and may not be vaccinated against rabies if it remains healthy for 10 days or if a reliable laboratory diagnosis confirms that the animal does not carry the rabies virus. Generally, the first thing to do after a bite is to clean the wound first, and if it is determined that vaccination is needed, the 5-dose vaccination method is recommended, with one dose on the day of the bite, one on day 3, one on day 7, one on day 14, and one on day 28, for a total of 5 doses. If the bite is severe, in addition to thorough local cleaning and disinfection, rabies serum should be applied around the wound for infiltration injection, followed by rabies vaccination. Some patients may develop fever within 24 hours after receiving rabies vaccination, which is also due to the reaction to the vaccination and is a normal phenomenon and usually does not require special treatment. Try not to take a shower on the day of vaccination to avoid infection at the vaccination site.
