Regarding rabies,
These life-saving knowledge must be known early on

What is rabies?
rabies is an infectious disease in the acute central system caused by rabies virus . It is an infectious disease with extremely high mortality rate caused by humans and animals (animals). Once it occurs, 100% die. The main symptoms are mania, fear of uneasiness, fear of wind and water, leucorrhea and pharyngeal muscle spasm, and eventually paralysis and death.
How did rabies virus be infected?
enters the human body by biting, scratching, and licking the damaged part of the injured skin mucosa.
How to deal with the wound that was bitten by dogs and other animals?
There is evidence that more than 99% of patients can survive even without the use of passive rabies immunization preparations.
Wound rinse and clean
If the wound is mild, you can use soapy water (or other weakly alkaline cleaning agent) and flow water with a certain pressure to alternately clean all bite for about 15 minutes ; then use normal saline rinse to wash the wound to avoid residual soapy water or other cleaning agents on the wound.
Disinfection treatment
1 thoroughly rinsed and then wiped or cleaned the inside of the wound with dilute iodine or other medical preparations with inactivated virus ability. It can inactivate the remaining rabies viruses in the wound.
Under what circumstances should I get vaccinated?
judged according to the rabies exposure rating:
First-level exposure
Touch/feed the animal, and the skin is intact and there is no injury.
does not need to be treated
Secondary exposure
bare skin was bitten and slightly scratched or scratched, the skin was damaged but no bleeding.
Immediately treat the wound and get vaccinated
Level 3 exposure
single/multiple penetrating skin bite or scratch accompanied by bleeding and damaged skin is licked; contact with bats; mucosa is contaminated by animal body fluids.
immediately treated the wound and injected a passive immunization preparation, followed by vaccination
Regarding rabies vaccine, what should be known

In addition, rabies vaccination should be completed on time. Correct vaccination according to the procedures is very important to the body's immunity against rabies.
Post-exposure immunization procedures for rabies vaccines approved for marketing in my country include two types: "5-shot method" and "2-1-1" procedures. The two immunization procedures are equally recommended, but the use of the "2-1-1" procedure must be approved by relevant national departments.
apnea procedure
1 vaccinated on the 0th, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th days, and a total of 5 doses were given;
"2-1-1" program
- -1-1" program
- patients did not seek medical treatment in time after the injury, which delayed valuable time;
- wound treatment is not standardized and cannot be fully flushed;
- should be used with passive immunosuppressants;
- vaccine quality is not up to standard, such as obtained from illegal channels;
- failed to inject vaccines at the prescribed time, or did not complete vaccination;
- individual differences in the body's immune ability.
- If it is determined that it is a healthy dog that does not carry the virus, you don’t need to worry;
- If it is not sure whether the dog carries rabies virus, you should consider whether it is infected;
- If it is general feeding and contact and there is no skin damage, it does not need to be treated;
- If it is bitten by rabies or suspected dogs and suffers skin damage, preventive measures must be taken in time
- -1 dose was given on the 0th day (one dose was given on the left and right upper arm deltoid muscles), one dose was given on the 7th and 21st days, and a total of 4 doses were given (this procedure is only applicable to rabies vaccine products approved by my country that can use the "2-1-1" program).
What are the common adverse reactions and precautions for rabies vaccination?
, common adverse reactions
Generally, redness, swelling, pain, itching may occur at the injection site within 24 hours of inoculation; or mild fever, weakness, headache, dizziness, joint pain, , muscle pain, vomiting, abdominal pain and other systemic reactions.
. Precautions
Do not drink alcohol, strong tea and other irritating foods and vigorous exercise during vaccination; please stay on site for 30 minutes after vaccination. If you have any discomfort after vaccination, please inform the vaccination doctor in time. In severe cases, please seek medical treatment in time; provide the health status of the recipient truthfully. Please consult the vaccination doctor for any unknown matters.
Why did he get vaccinated and get sick?
This situation is extremely rare! The main reasons are:
These cognitive misunderstandings should be avoided
Let’s first take a look at the topics that everyone is most concerned about. Occasionally, media reports that some patients still had rabies after being vaccinated, causing panic to a certain extent. This panic stems from the public's misunderstanding of rabies. Eliminating these misunderstandings and correctly understanding rabies can help control the spread of rabies.
Only dogs carry rabies virus?
Error! Dogs are the main source of rabies in my country, accounting for about 95%, followed by cats. Weasel badgers, red foxes, raccoons and wolves are important wild rabies hosts and sources of infection in my country.
Rabies virus incubation period 20 years?
Error! Most of the incubation periods of are between 1-3 months, but there are cases that are less than 1 week and more than 1 year. The maximum incubation period of scientifically proven is 6 years.
Only when you are bitten will you get sick?
Error! Scratches, bites, licks wounds/mucosals or exposed wounds that are suspected of carrying rabies viruses may be infected.
Rabies vaccine is only effective if it is injected within 24 hours after being bitten?
Error! does not exist for 24 hours or 72 hours. As long as the disease has not yet occurred, the vaccine will work. The sooner the better, and be treated as soon as possible.
You will definitely get rabies after being caught and bitten by a dog?
wrong! There is no definite answer to this question, and it needs to be viewed in terms of situations:
Rabies is still an important public health threat that plagues the public!
On the occasion of the rabies day,
urges everyone:
raising dogs in accordance with the law and regulations,
0 1 Injecting dogs in time,
1 l2
blocks the spread of rabies,
is responsible for the health of the dog,
is also responsible for the safety of the neighbors and the public around you!
