I'm a bit worried about a scratch I got from a dog about two days ago. I couldn't get a rabies shot immediately, and I'm planning to get it soon, but it's been over 48 hours now. Will the vaccine still be effective if I get it within 72 hours, or is it too late to prevent rabies?
If you get the rabies shot after 48 hours but before 72 hours of a dog scratch, the vaccine can still be effective. It is ideal to get the rabies vaccine as soon as possible after a potential exposure. The standard regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis involves a series of rabies vaccines, such as Rabipur or Verorab, given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, a dose of rabies immunoglobulin may be administered on day 0 for those with high-risk exposures. It is important to follow the recommended schedule for the vaccine to ensure protection against rabies.

Yesterday I went to Green Trends in Chennai for a haircut, and the barber accidentally cut his finger, which started to bleed. He ignored it and continued with my haircut. After washing my hair, I noticed a cut on the top left side of my ear. When I got home, my friends confirmed there was indeed a slight cut. Im really worried nowif the barber has HIV or hepatitis, is there a chance I could have contracted it through this cut? Would appreciate any advice on what steps I should take next.
