If you have had thyroid surgery and are exposed to the rabies virus, such as being bitten by a sick dog, you must be vaccinated against rabies, which is used for emergency prophylaxis and cannot be postponed. If there is no exposure, it is best to wait until after the surgery for the body to return to normal before administering the vaccine. Rabies vaccination is usually given in two situations: when there is no suspected exposure to the rabies virus, or when there is suspected exposure to the rabies virus. In the first case, try to get vaccinated after thyroid surgery and after your body has recovered, as this will encourage the immune system to produce a better immune response. Because rabies virus is a potent neurotropic virus that is very dangerous when it infects the human body, it is important to receive rabies vaccination promptly after exposure. In the second case, the rabies vaccine must be administered in a timely manner, regardless of whether the body has recovered.
