Rabies Vaccine Query
Hi,
So on tuesday morning I was standing in darshan queue at trimbak temple near nashik. A stray dog entered and scratches my leg fingers, there was no blood as I far as I saw. I was back to hotel after 2-3 hours and cleaned it up with dettol and hot water and soap. Later on I went to general physician, I searched on google and found one. He said to take a shot of vaccine and forget about it. The vaccine he suggested (rabipur) was not available in any near by medicals, so he called one and asked him to get from someplace else. He got it may be from nashik civil hospital. The vaccine I got was Indirab.
Now I am back in Mumbai and here major hospital and medicals don't have it. I went to bigger hospital in my area, as my son was standing in front of me when dog scratched my fingers, the dog passed near him also. My son is not sure if dog scratched him, there is tiny scratch on his feet which he says was there from earlier. We showed it to pediatrician and he said can't make out anything and it's better to be safe and take vaccine for him as well. So he gave my son rabi vax which widely available in Mumbai and also Doctor told me I can take rapi vax also as it's made with same method and they interchangable. Is that true, can anyone guide me please.
I am worried about several things :
- My son's first shot was before 72 hours passed so is it fine ?
- I am also worried if I interchange vaccines, will it be fine ?
Anyone with knowledge,please guide regarding this,
Thanks
