The dangers of not getting shots for a family dog bite

If you do not get a shot referring to the rabies vaccine, you are at risk of contracting rabies after being bitten by a domestic dog. It is very dangerous to be bitten by a dog without a rabies shot. Because even domestic dogs can carry the rabies virus, there is a risk of contracting rabies after being bitten by a domestic dog. In addition, there is no specific drug treatment for rabies, so the emphasis is on prevention. It is important not to be careless after being bitten because once the disease develops, the fatality rate is 100%. Therefore, after being bitten by a dog, rabies vaccine should be injected immediately so that the body can produce antibodies to prevent the onset of disease. In addition, tetanus antitoxin should be injected to prevent tetanus if necessary. If a patient is bitten by a dog, he should go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse consequences.
