What's rabies exposure?
rabies are an animal-borne infectious disease caused by rabies virus infections, most of which are characterized by fear of water, fear of wind, myocardial spasms, etc. and, in the event of an outbreak, death rates are almost 100 per cent. The exposure to rabies is the bite, scratch, licking of a mucous membrane or defaced skin by rabies, suspected rabies, or failure to determine whether a resident active person suffering from rabies is likely to have saliva or tissue containing rabies.
02
How do I know if I should be vaccinated or not?
In developing countries, most domestic animals are not vaccinated because of economic factors or weak rabies prevention. According to statistics, animal vaccination rates in China and China are low, making it difficult to stem the spread of rabies between animals. Therefore, vaccinations are needed as soon as rabies are exposed to level II. In addition, injuries caused by animal injuries are high-risk tetanus wounds, which are treated in a manner that requires a doctor to assess the risk of tetanus and take reasonable precautions.
Sweeping of wounds: Each wound of bite and scratching shall be washed with soap water (or other weak alkaline washing agent) and liquid water at some pressure for at least 15 minutes.
03
What do you need attention for?
There are usually two procedures for rabies vaccination, the first being 5 injections: 1 per day, 3 per day, 7 per day, 14 per day and 28 per day; and the second procedure, 2-1 per day, of course: 2 per day (around 1 per day), 1 per day, 7 per day and 21 per day. Both are valid procedures recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Do you need to be vaccinated against rabies?
Inoculation of rabies in the body of the vaccine is intra-immuno: upper arm deltas, aged 2 years and over; front leg exterior muscles, under 2 years of age, with no injection in the hip. Using the same brand as possible, different brands of qualified vaccines can be replaced, and the procedure must be consistent with the replacement vaccine instructions; when a needle is delayed by one or more days, the subsequent injections are given a corresponding extension at the interval between the original immunization procedures after the delay; other vaccines can be administered according to normal immunization procedures, with priority given to rabies.
04
If you get bitten twice, will you get rabies again?
The wounds shall be disposed of in a timely, thorough and regular manner. If you have completed the full course of immunization and the injury is not repeated during the second half of the year following the last vaccination; if you have sustained injuries between six months and one year, one dose per day, one dose per day, one dose per day, three days or three years, one dose per day; and more than three years. If you are exposed again during the vaccination process, you can complete the vaccination according to the procedure.
05
Inoculation of pregnant and lactating women against rabies
Domestic and international studies have consistently shown that pregnant and lactating women are safe against rabies, that the incidence of adverse reactions does not differ significantly from that of non-pregnant women and does not affect the foetus. At the same time, pregnant women are able to provide normal immunization responses to rabies vaccines. Thus, pregnant and lactating women are normally vaccinated against rabies.
Chief advised you to walk the dog.
The recent events at the Kuala Lumpur Festival have told us about the importance of walking the dog to hold the dog! Article 30 of the Law of the People ' s Republic of China on Animal Diseases, which has been in force since 1 May this year, clearly stipulates that units and individual dogs shall be regularly immunized against rabies, in accordance with the regulations, and shall apply to the local dog registry for registration on the basis of an immunization certificate issued by an animal clinic. If a dog leaves the house only, it shall wear a dog tag as prescribed and take measures such as canine rope to prevent the dog from only hurting and spreading the disease. So if you take a dog out of the house without a dog tag and a dog rope, your behavior will cease to be illegal, but rather illegal.
Finally, by quoting Jiangsu News, “The dog has to be certified, the dog's rope is to be followed, the dog is to be cleaned up, and no dog is to be kept”.
