Can a vaccinated dog give you rabies?
NO! Although there have been a few cases of dogs that have had vaccines and still contracted rabies, this is misleading.
What happens if a vaccinated dog bites you?
Do you have to take vaccination against rabies if a vaccinated dog bites you? No, not if the dog is properly vaccinated against rabies and the efficacy of the vaccine is confirmed by laboratory evidence. Otherwise an appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) should be given.
Do I need a rabies shot if dog is vaccinated?
Rabies immunoglobulin provides immediate protection against rabies until your body has responded to the vaccine and makes its own antibodies to rabies. If you have been vaccinated previously with one of the currently licensed vaccines, you will still need two booster doses of rabies vaccine.
How effective is dog rabies vaccine?
An almost 100% survival rate has been reported in animals with rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) levels greater than 0.5 IU/mL. Therefore, an RVNA level of 0.5 IU/mL typically demonstrates proof of adequate response to rabies vaccination.
