There are cases nga na lumalabas yung symptoms after a year. Sa pagkakaintindi ko kasi depende sa location ng wound, severity ng wound or baka konti yung viral load na na-introduce sa katawan. Kapag ang kagat ay malayo sa ulo or utak, mas matagal ang symptoms, yan turo ng prof ko noon sa virology.
Nagpa-antirabies ako 2 years ago. Sabi nung doktor, effective daw yung shot up to 2 years. Pero kung nakagat sa collarbone pataas, kailangan magpa-injection ulit.
Kelangan ang booster shots if nakagat ka uli, regardless sa kung saan ka nakagat. At least yun ang sabi dun sa bite center nung nagpa-turok ako last year. Ang pinagkaiba lang is for two years di mo kelangan yung 4-shot series, booster lang. After two years at nakagat ka uli, start from zero ang injections.
Thanks, yun kasi pagkakaalala ko sa sinabi sakin. Medyo di rin ako confident sa sinabi niya na 2 years kaya tinanong ko what if makagat ako ulit. Then yun nga sinabi yung collarbone pataas. Regardless, kahit scratch lang babalik ako sa kanila kasi takot na ko sa rabies (lalo na ngayon na merong kalmado lang na infected). Wouldn't want to take risks.
Yun din naman ang recommendation sa akin, kahit scratch or nadilaan yung open wound, balik uli sa bite center at paturok ng booster. Rabies is no joke.
But also, if you have pets, do your due diligence and make sure their rabies shots (and other vaccines) are up-to-date.
