Pregnant women are a group of people who require careful care. The body of a pregnant woman is not only her own, but also that of the baby in her womb, so in order to conceive a healthy and high-quality baby, pregnant women must pay special attention to their movements. Can pregnant women get vaccinated against rabies if they are bitten by dogs during pregnancy?
1、 Can pregnant women receive rabies vaccine if bitten by dogs?
Pregnant women can receive rabies vaccine, which has no effect on pregnant women or fetuses. The rabies vaccine should be administered as soon as possible, and the best time to receive the vaccine for the first time is within 48 hours after being bitten. The specific injection time is: inject 1 dose (2 milliliters) of vaccine into each muscle on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 30 respectively. "0" refers to the day of injection of the first dose (and so on for the rest). If the vaccine cannot be injected in time due to various factors, the rabies vaccine should be used in accordance with the principle of "early injection is better than late injection, and late injection is better than no injection". It will not affect fetal development.
2、 Precautions for pregnant women receiving rabies vaccine
However, one thing to note is that after all, rabies vaccine is an inactivated vaccine, and there may be some reactions after vaccination. There may still be certain risks after vaccination. Therefore, the editor suggests that expectant mothers should not go home immediately after receiving rabies vaccine, but should stay in the hospital for a period of time to observe and confirm that there are no problems before going home.
Of course, although there may be some risks associated with getting vaccinated against rabies, the editor still needs to remind expectant mothers that if you are bitten or scratched by a cat or dog at home, it is best to go to the hospital for vaccination in a timely manner. Otherwise, even if you do not get sick now, you will still get sick in the future. Once this disease occurs, there may be no medicine to save you. This is something that expectant mothers need to pay close attention to.
Additionally, mothers should not worry about the impact of rabies vaccines on the fetus. As we mentioned earlier, rabies vaccines are inactivated vaccines that do not pass through the placenta and affect the fetus.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that pregnant women can receive rabies vaccines, and pregnant women must pay special attention to the contents of this article when receiving rabies vaccines. Actually, injecting rabies vaccine into pregnant women will not affect the fetus in their abdomen. Pregnant women must actively inject rabies vaccine after being bitten by a dog.
