A member asked:
Good day, my boyfriend is a farmer and was exposed to rb51 brucellosis vaccine on animals which came into contact with his hands where he has got several scratches and sores. what should we do and where can we get him tested as soon as possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to worry: Exposure to the vaccine is unlikely to cause any ill-effects, despite the lesions on his hands. If he gets fever or loses weight, it would be useful to see a doctor.
