i had a booster dose for anti-rabies vaccine after being bitten the second time. do i need another shot after being bitten the 3rd time?

Question

I got 2 booster rabies shots 1 month ago. I received a 4 dose vaccine series 5 months ago. If i get exposed again very soon do I need more shots?

Answer 1

Depends on the : Length of time after the last immunization.

Answer 2

Possibly: Depends on what bit you and the level of risk of rabies in your community. If it is still a problem in the wildlife of your area and you were bitten by a credible source of rabies, it is worth your while to get another shot. The alternative is a 100% fatal disease. No has yet survived a rabies infection and all the gory details are unfortunately true.

Answer 3

No: This is not currently known to be a risk of hepatitis b vaccine.

Answer 4

No: Absolutely not, no one knows what causes diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and other similar diseased such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, but all involve an autoimmune reaction in which the immune system starts to attack parts of the body.

Answer 5

No: Ms, or multiple sclerosis, is a neurological disease that can cause weakness, poor balance, visual problems, and a host of other neurologic symptoms. It is lifelong, with waxing and waning severity in most cases. Cause is uncertain; genetics and environment likely playing a role. There is currently no medical or scientific evidence that Hepatitis B Vaccine increases one's risk of developing ms.

Answer 6

No: Although the question of a connection between MS and the Hepatitis B Vaccine was raised, it was based upon innuendo and false information. The facts as we know them demonstrate absolutely no relationship. The vaccine is safe.

Answer 7

No: Not that i know of. I am aware that Hepatitis B Vaccine had been blamed for causing type i diabetes, of course, without merit. Ms is still a dreadful condition whose etiology remains elusive. Human herpes virus type vi, well known cause of roseola, has been implicated in some cases of ms.

Answer 8

No: Ms is more common in people who live their childhood years farther away from the equator, which in the northern hemisphere means that a child's risk of MS increases if he moves farther north and lives there before adolescence. Ms occurs in people who do not get the hepatitis b vaccine, as well as in persons who do receive the vaccine, but one does not cause the other. The cause of MS is unknown.

Answer 9

No: Vaccines do NOT cause MS

Answer 10

No: Most women who have had breast reductions will find it difficult to nurse, and some may find it impossible. There's no harm in trying but it is important to be realistic. The operation relocates the nipple and disrupts the nerves that signal the brain to produce and release breast milk when the baby sucks. Sometimes there is adequate nerve function and with persistence nursing can succeed.

Answer 11

Yes: Yes you should since most of them are 'nipple-sparing'.

Answer 12

No: During a breast reduction, it is common to have to move the location of the nipples as the excess breast tissue is removed. In doing so, the milk ducts are cut across and this makes it harder or impossible to breast feed.

Answer 13

Yes: Most women who have undergone breast reduction surgery have good preservation of breast ducts to nipples, especially in the upper half of the breast which are usually not resected. Likewise breast feeding after augmentation (breast implants) works fine as these are placed under the pectoral muscles.

Answer 14

Possible, but: There are several different ways to do the surgery, and some leave more breast tissue behind the nipple than others. It is still definitely a low chance that you can successfully breast feed after reduction.

Answer 15

Yes: The disease or risk of disease is usually fatal. No problems have been found with administering the vaccine to pregnant or breast feeding women.

Answer 16

No and yes: Rabies vaccines are live inactivated virus that is generally contraindicated in pregnancy because of its potential harm to the fetus. However, given the alternative that rabies infection is 100% fatal, your doctor and local health officials need to weigh the level of risk of rabies in the exposure. The local health officials monitor the rabies incidence in the community.

Answer 17

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.

Answer 18

Get off it: Dilantin should be relegated to history. It is an old drug of high toxicity and major problems with use. Talk to your doctor about getting off or at least changing to a newer and safer seizure medication.

Answer 19

Yes, hypnosis: Hypnosis would be safe for you to try. You have been posting multiple questions concerning your worries about seizure many years ago, about drug use now causing seizures, etc. So most of all i hope you do see a psychiatrist and therapist to help you with your anxiety. Hypnosis may help also, and it is safe. Please stay away from recreational drugs, though.
