अगर कुत्ते ने मुझे खरोंच दिया और मैंने 10 दिन पहले ही रेबीज का टीका लगवाया है, तो मुझे क्या करना चाहिए?

Client_b7e539

कल मैं एक कुत्ते से मिला, मुझे यकीन नहीं है कि उसने मुझे काटा या नहीं, लेकिन मैं बहुत चिंतित हो गया कि अगर उसने मुझे काट लिया तो क्या होगा। मैंने अपनी टांग पर एक छोटा सा खरोंच देखा, खून नहीं निकला लेकिन त्वचा सूखी होकर छिल गई। मैं जानना चाहता हूँ कि क्या मुझे वैक्सीन की ज़रूरत है, क्योंकि मैंने 10 दिन पहले ही रेबीज का टीका लिया था।

Dr. Bharat Joshi
I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

If you’ve received a rabies vaccine 10 days ago and encountered a dog causing a scratch, generally, your recent vaccine offers some protection. However, it’s crucial to understand that the need for further action can depend on several factors. First, assessing the nature of the scratch is important. Since it didn’t bleed and was more akin to skin peeling, the risk might be lower, but not necessarily zero. Rabies transmission usually requires saliva from an infected animal to enter the body through a bite or open wound, so with scratches the risk is somewhat reduced compared to deeper bites. Nonetheless, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is recommended in many cases of animal exposure, especially if the animal’s rabies status is unknown. Since you had a recent vaccination, your healthcare provider might suggest a booster dose if needed, instead of a complete vaccine series. This can be done as a precaution based on your specific situation. Additionally, consider washing the scratch thoroughly with soap and water, as this can help reduce potential infection risk. Monitoring the scratch for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, or drainage is important. If the dog can be observed, keep an eye on its health for at least 10 days. However, contact your healthcare provider for a tailored recommendation specific to your situation, as they can take into account your health history, the details of the scratch, and any other potential risk factors you may have.
