Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) which includes proper wound washing, full course of modern cell culture vaccines, and rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) for severe bites, is almost XXX% effective when done correctly and promptly. So can rabies still occur after PEP? Yes, though extremely rarely, usually due to errors or special circumstances, such as: X. Incomplete or incorrect vaccination: missed doses, wrong schedule, or poorly stored vaccine. X. Improper technique: giving intramuscular vaccine subcutaneously. X. Severe or highly dangerous exposure: multiple or deep bites on the head, face, or neck, especially if PEP is delayed by even few days. X. Poor wound care: not washing thoroughly with soap and water, or not infiltrating RIG directly into Category III wounds. In this case, as per media reports, he received only three vaccine doses. But a neck bite (Category III) requires the complete vaccination schedule and RIG infiltration around the wound. It’s unclear if he got that. So, lessons for you: X. Immediately wash the wound with soap and water for XX minutes, and then see a doctor. X. Go to a qualified doctor or a good hospital. In fact, remember that a dog bite can happen to anyone at any time, so it’s wise to identify a nearby hospital in advance. X. Let the doctor decide what’s best for you.
