View allI'm really worried because my pet dog bit my hand today and it's bleeding. I got three doses of the vaccine about eight months ago and then got another dose just two days before this happened. That makes it a total of five doses I've had so far. Do you think I should get vaccinated again?
Yes you have to take one more booster dose 14 days after exposure.

I'm a bit worried because a monkey just grazed my right hand with its teeth, and there's a small mark, but luckily no blood. I've already gotten a TT shot, but should I also get a rabies vaccine? Can you advise me on what to do next?

I'm really concerned about how quickly someone with Covid-19 can spread it to others. Like, do they start spreading the virus right after they get infected, or does it take a few days? I'm trying to figure out if there's a period where they aren't contagious. Could you shed some light on this?
they can spread immediately after you getting infected. so quarantine is done
