There are a few exceptions, including oral vaccines for cholera, typhoid and rotavirus and a nasal spray for influenza (FluMist). However, for the majority of both pediatric and adult vaccinates, injections either subcutaneously (below the skin), intradermally (into the skin) or intramuscularly (into the mus...more

Two of the symptoms associated with hepatitis A infections are fever and joint.

Hi
the difference between pentavac (painful) and pentaxim (painless) one is regarding one of the component. (pertussis). But there is a slight advantage of painful over painless one.
As it's just the second dose you can switch over the painful one.
It has got it's own side effects.
Thanks.

Still it is not very clear that dtap can be replaced by" w" or vice versa during primary vaccination for maintaining its efficacy but may be replaced for booster doses. I suggest since you are not living at place where" a" is not available, switch over to vaccine which is available at your place and continue as per schedule. There may be substitute for maker of vaccine but not for vaccine. Your query about difference of two vaccine is very pertinent in today's scenario. Dtap (a) v/s dtwp (w)- bo...more

The vaccine is always successful if it's given immediately after exposure. You'll get one dose of fast-acting rabies immune globulin, which will prevent you from getting infected by the virus. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.

If you are sure that the dog who bite you was suffering from rabies, then you should take the vaccine as soon as possible.
If the dog was a stray dog, then also its necessary to take the vaccine soon.
A person who is exposed and has never been vaccinated against rabies should get 4 doses of rabies vaccine - one dose right away, and additional doses on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th days. They should also get another shot called Rabies Immune Globulin at the same time as the first dose.
