Please tell me what vaccine should one get to prevent rabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rabies: There are no vaccines given to prevent rabies, however, if you have been exposed to rabies by the bite of a rabid animal or one that is known to carry rabies (bats, squirrels, etc) you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to start what we call postexposure prophylaxis. This is a vaccine that is given after the exposure not before.
