If you are bitten by a dog, it is recommended to get vaccinated within 24 hours. The earlier the injection, the better the effect. Injection within 24 hours can make the level of self-neutralizing antibodies reach an effective amount in the shortest time, and the effect of preventing rabies attacks is more obvious. Injection at a later time only delays the production of effective antibodies. The protective power of the antibodies produced is lower and the effect of preventing rabies is reduced.

What to do after a dog bites:

1. After being bitten, you should immediately wash the wound with 20% soapy water and tap water, repeatedly and alternately for more than 20 minutes. , while forcefully squeezing out the blood from the wound and surrounding tissues.

2. If the bite is severe and you cannot handle it yourself, you need to go to the hospital for cleaning and disinfection, and infiltrate and inject rabies immune globulin around the wound.

3. Then go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or a community hospital to receive the rabies vaccine. Do not drink alcohol or strong tea during the vaccination period.
