How many days before the rabies vaccine produces antibodies

Although the body will begin to produce antibodies immediately after rabies vaccination, the titer is low, undetectable and not sufficiently protective, and it usually takes 7~14 days to produce antibodies of sufficiently high titer. Therefore, it is recommended that people with serious injuries be vaccinated and injected with immune globulin at the same time, in order to protect the body from being infected when the body is not sufficiently producing its own antibodies. Rabies vaccine is used to prevent rabies. Anyone who has been bitten or scratched by a rabid dog or other diseased animal should immediately treat the local wound and promptly inject rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin. Generally bite victims on the same day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, each injected 1 dose of rabies vaccine vaccine, the whole immunization a total of 5 doses. After the first dose of vaccine, the body will gradually begin to produce antibodies, but at first the antibody titer is low and can not be detected, until seven days later, that is, after the third injection can be detected in the body, 7 to 14 days to produce a higher titer of antibodies to play a protective role in the body. Adverse reactions such as fever, redness and swelling at the injection site may occur after rabies vaccination, and if they persist for more than 1 week or if the symptoms are more serious, timely consultation is recommended. Attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, avoiding spicy, stimulating foods, alcohol or caffeinated beverages. Rest should be taken to avoid strenuous exercise or overwork. Avoid unauthorized use of hormones or immunosuppressive drugs after vaccination, and consult a physician for advice before using drugs. Once rabies develops, the mortality rate is 100%, so after being bitten and scratched by animals, rabies vaccine should be injected in time to avoid serious consequences.
