Health outlet explains why most people don't need a preventative rabies vaccine
Original: Do you need a preventative rabies vaccine? Probably not. https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.pops ci.com/science/is-there
Popular Science has published an explainer on pre-exposure rabies vaccination, concluding that the general public almost never needs it. Rabies shots before exposure are reserved for people with high occupational risk, such as veterinarians, animal handlers and travelers to remote areas where the virus is common and treatment is hard to reach. For everyone else, vaccination after a bite or scratch is considered sufficient.
Why now: The article is being shared because rabies fears and questions about who actually needs the vaccine spike whenever animal bites or exposure stories circulate.
