Kindly explain me about antirabies vaccine.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I am sorry for the dog bite. But, I am glad that you have taken the correct schedule of vaccines till now. Basically there are two types of anti rabies vaccines. 1. Neural tissue vaccine. 2. Tissue culture vaccine. Of these neural tissue vaccines is given in the anterior abdominal wall around the umbilicus for 14 days. Beta-Propiolactone belongs to this category. The tissue culture vaccine are given in the deltoid, outer aspect of your arm, in the regimental badge area on 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. It is not common for them to give beta propiolactone (BPL) vaccine in your arms on 0, 3 and 7 days. If you have got your shots in your arm, then it is tissue culture vaccine. There are five types of tissue culture vaccines (TCV). 1. HDCV - human diploid cell culture rabies vaccine, the most expensive TCV per dose. 2. Rabipur (PCEC - purified chick embryo cell vaccine). 3. Verorab (PVRV - purified Vero cell rabies vaccine), dose of 0.5 mL. 4. Verovax-R (PVRV), dose of 0.5 mL. 5. Abhayrab (PVRV). The good news is that All TCVs that is HDCV, PVRV AND PCEC are freely interchangeable. So, if you had got your previous three injections in your arm, then,please go and get two more injections of tissue culture vaccine on day 14 and day 28 in private.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Since you have got the three shots in the shoulder, it is definitely a tissue culture vaccine. So, you need to take two more doses of the tissue culture vaccine on 14th day and 28th day. Your option is to take that in private on 14th day and 28th day and also you can take any of these types (HDCV, PVRV AND PCEC) on 14th day and 28th day. You need to locate a doctor near your home who does vaccinations. Tell him that you may need two doses of tissue culture vaccines on the particular day. Even if he does not have stock, he will get it and keep it ready. Once you have taken all the five doses, you can forget this dog bite.
