[|Human|] last december 2009 my 11 year old cousin was bitten by our dog,  she got all the anti rabies vaccines needed ( 4 shots of verurob + 1 shot of anti rabies serum + anti tetanus toxoid) though our dog was updated to her anti rabies shots and she just got her shot again last december 29, 2010. just this night (july 10) my cousin was bitten again by our dog on her lower lip, its a small scratch. does she need to be vaccinated again of the 4 shots verurob? thanx!
[|AI|]  HIT hanks for posting your query.  A minor scratch on the skin would not require a repeat vaccine but since it is on the lip I would recommend a repeat Rabies vaccination.  However, for repeat vaccination only 2 doses is enough, the second dose to be taken 3 days after the first dose.  All said and done since it is your pet dog which has been vaccinated, there is no need for re vaccination. However, if you opt not to get vaccinated make sure your dog is under observation for 10 days and if in this period the dog dies she has to get vaccinated. Hope this information was useful. Any clarifications feel free to ask. Regards.
