Rabies Vaccine Misconceptions

Misconceptions about rabies vaccine:

1. Residential dogs do not need to be vaccinated. With the increase in the number of dogs, the contacts between relatives and friends, and the owner's going out, the virus may be brought to the dogs at home. Even if they do not go out, they must be vaccinated.

2. After buying the puppy, immunize it as soon as possible. When unimmunized puppies arrive in a new environment, they must gradually adapt to diet and rest. If the puppy comes from a market where the environment is dirty, the plague is rampant, and the market is starved and cold, the physical fitness must be poor, and it is often infected with terrible diseases, but it does not attack, and vaccination at this time will be counterproductive. It should be taken care of and observed for about 10 days, and the immunization will be carried out after the hospital tests confirm the health.

3. Vaccination by the dog mother is equal to the safety of the dog baby. The attenuated vaccine has a strong reaction after injection, which may damage the fetus. The instructions for this type of vaccine clearly state that "pregnant dogs are prohibited". If the dog's immunization time happens to be at this time, it should wait until after breastfeeding before immunization.

4. Vaccines should be made early and solid. Injecting the vaccine at a too young age may be interfered by maternal antibodies, affecting the immune effect. The first batch of vaccines should be injected after 45 days, and the first batch of rabies vaccine should be injected after 3 months.

5. Vaccination equals 100% guarantee. There are hundreds of diseases that can occur in dogs, and vaccines can only prevent six or seven of them. Even after being vaccinated, careful attention should be paid to the health of the dog.

6. Vaccination in the first year is the most important. We must pay attention to each year's vaccine, and each year's vaccine should be about half a month earlier than the previous year's injection time to prevent accidents when the vaccine is about to expire.

7. Get vaccinated when you are sick. If a dog is sick, it cannot be vaccinated. If you think that if a dog is sick, it will recover after being vaccinated, then you are wrong, and it will kill the dog. Dogs can only be vaccinated when they are in good health.
