How is it not?
I'm currently 1 of 3 injections into getting a rabies vaccine and it's basically like every other vaccine I've had. A simple, painless, injection in the arm.
I got it the same time as my first shot of the Hep B vaccine too.
- devin 11mo agoThis style of rabies vaccine is for pre-exposure. Post-exposure vaccination is more involved if you aren’t primed. In addition, it used to be the case that people received abdominal shots and the course was pretty intense. That has ended, but people remember it.
- throwaway290 11mo agopost exposure vaccination is a thing?? does it work for everything and why is it called vaccination not treatment?
- wil421 11mo agoYes, you can get the vaccine but you only have days/weeks to do it.
- intelfx 11mo ago> post exposure vaccination is a thing?? does it work for everything I believe in this discussion the context is specifically rabies. > and why is it called vaccination not treatment? It's both, really. You get a shot of rabies immunoglobulin (at the site of potential infection, i.e., bite) _and_ an extended course of vaccine at the same time.
- deesep 11mo agoOh I remember alright! I got bitten by a stray dog when I was 12 years old. I was given abdominal shots of the vaccine for several days. I can't remember if it was for 7 or 14 days, but it was a very painful and traumatic experience. It caused me to have a deep fear of dogs for several decades.
