Post-exposure rabies prophylaxis (PEP) is compulsory if you are bitten by a dog, cat or other animal that is rabid or is suspected to be infected with rabies.
PEP is required under following conditions:
● If the bite has broken the skin and the wound is bleeding.
● If a mucous membrane has been exposed to saliva from a suspect animal.
● If the animal that has bitten someone
-
- is killed
- disappears during the observation period
- displays unusual, erratic behaviour
- if laboratory tests of brain material from the suspected or rabid animal is positive.
We would suggest you to get yourself vaccinated.
