I got pregnant during the rabies vaccination

Rabies virus is a very dangerous virus that parasitizes in large numbers on animals such as cats and dogs, posing a huge threat to people's life safety because rabies is almost incurable. Modern medicine has invented the rabies vaccine. Timely vaccination can effectively block viral infection and protect people's health. However, what should some women do if they become pregnant during the rabies vaccination period?

Since the mortality rate of rabies is almost 100%, there are no contraindications to rabies vaccination. Pregnant women can also receive rabies vaccine. If you find out you are pregnant after the fourth dose of rabies vaccine, the rabies vaccine will have no effect on the child.

Rabies is a highly fatal disease with a 100% mortality rate, and the only effective means of prevention is rabies vaccination. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, pregnant women who have been bitten by dogs or other animals should be vaccinated against rabies, regardless of whether they are in the early or late stages of pregnancy, to ensure their safety.

As for whether it affects fetal development, according to the data of pregnant women who have been vaccinated with rabies vaccine in the past, no side effects or abnormalities were found in fetal development after vaccination. However, it must be pointed out that since the health status of pregnant women is often assessed in emergency situations, if it is due to the primary genetic defects or diseases of the fetus itself, it is a coincidental situation and not an adverse reaction caused by vaccination. However, the above situation is an emergency measure under special circumstances. Although there is currently no data proving that rabies vaccination has an impact on fetal development, for women of childbearing age who are currently receiving rabies vaccination, it is best to postpone pregnancy appropriately, generally by 2-3 months.

If you are not given a rabies vaccine immediately after being bitten by a dog or cat, you should get a regular rabies vaccination if the bite happened within 10 days. If the bite site is on the head, face, neck, or the person is bitten by a rabid dog, even if a considerable period of time has passed, rabies vaccination should still be actively carried out, and anti-rabies immune serum or immunoglobulin should be injected at the same time.
