What are the dangers of rabies vaccine to children?

With the improvement of people's living standards, now in many cities we can see many people raising pets, such as puppies and kittens, etc. If people do not manage pets properly, pets are likely to bite people. Once this happens, rabies vaccines should be given in time. However, many parents are very worried about whether rabies vaccines will affect the health of their children. So what are the hazards of rabies vaccines to children?

First, what are the dangers of rabies vaccine to children? What I want to tell you here is that rabies vaccine is a vaccine with relatively high safety. It has passed national medical and health testing and has been used in our country for 20 to 30 years. So far, there have been basically no cases of adverse reactions. However, considering the young age of 3 or 4-year-old children, their immunity and resistance to diseases are low.

Second, fever may occur after receiving rabies vaccine. Depending on the physical constitution of different children, some children may experience adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, nodules, itching at the injection site after receiving the rabies vaccine, and may even experience edema, swollen lymph nodes, etc.

Third, parents don’t need to worry too much. These situations are very normal and are reactions within a controllable range. After giving the child the rabies vaccine, the most important thing for parents at this time is not to let the child be picky about food. The diet should be as broad and diversified as possible, and the child should eat more high-protein and high-quality protein foods and more vegetables and fruits. This will help the child's physical recovery.

Fourth, you must get a rabies vaccine after being bitten by an animal, because the incubation period of rabies is generally very long. If it develops, it is fatal. Currently, no country can treat it. The only way is to go to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine within 24 hours after being bitten by an animal. If there is exposure (skin bitten), you also need to inject immunoglobulin. This is injected according to body weight, one injection for every 10KG. The current rabies vaccines are inactivated vaccines, that is, dead vaccines, which will not cause any harm to the human body.

What are the dangers of rabies vaccine to children? Generally speaking, rabies vaccine has basically no adverse effects on children. Since rabies vaccine is also a medicine, we should try not to get it if possible. Parents should take good care of their children and keep them away from all kinds of dogs to prevent accidents from happening. If a child is bitten by a dog, please go to the hospital immediately to get a rabies vaccine.
