[|Human|] my daughter is already 2 and  8 months old. while the dog was eating my child went through the dog and she was bitten. but she has only scratches no bites or marks of the tooth.while my child was saying she was bitten by the dog..so i decided to have  injection. and she was given 2 shots of injection,,,How many times she will take a shot for anti rabbies..can she take the shots at her young age
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking I have gone through your question, and understand your concern You said that she has been received 2 shots, (mean She received shot on day of bite and other on three day after bit) . The third shot to be given 7 day after bite.  Then you check the health of dog on 10th day of bite.  If dog shown symptoms of rabid /or died then two more shot 14 day and 28 day after bite is to be given.  If dog is healthy on 10th day bite.  You have two options. First you can safely stop the injections.  Second option (more advised) is that you take one more shot on 30 day of bite. The advantage of this extra shot that if she is bitten next time she will require only to shot of vaccine and not require immunoglobulin (which is give in deep wound) As there is no available treatment for rabies and rabies is 100 % fatal disease. Rabies vaccine is to be given in all age group. .  Hope I answer your question
