I have a doubt about rabies virus. Please help !?


Right now, I am getting rabies shots. I know that rabies virus do not survive out of blood. But still I have a doubt. Rabies virus enters the blood to survive and then gets out of the blood to escape antibodies, and shelter somewhere else. Then it enters the blood again, to survive, and then again gets out of the blood, and it goes on. And so rabies virus survive in the human body and the person can develope rabies after the effect of the vaccination is finished. IS IT RIGHT OR WRONG ? CAN THIS HAPPEN ? PLEASE EXPLAIN AND CONVINCE ME. I AM IN DISTRESS.

What you are getting are shots containing antibodies against rabies to prevent you from getting the disease. The virus will go into a suspended animation state, and your own immune system will then seek them out and destroy them- then cast them out of the body entirely. You would not form antibodies on your own soon enough to prevent dying from the disease, which is why you are taking the shots. You are being given antibodies your body can use, while it makes more of it's own. You can't develop rabies afterwards because you will have a defense in place against it. You would need the same shots if you were exposed to rabies again, because rabies kills faster than the immune system can respond against it, and there is no way to repair the damage it does. Millions of people have taken the rabies shots, and survived. To date, there has been only one human survived the actual disease of rabies- and that person was not immunized. Nobody gets rabies from the shots. Nobody keeps rabies in their bodies afterwards. Relax and take your shots. And keep away from sick animals in the future. You are not going to die from rabies.

Well, if you are having such doubts, you should check with your doctor. Anyway, any vaccine causes your body's immune system to produce antibodies so even if the rabies virus lurks some where else in your body, it cannot cause problem because of the antibodies. So, no, you won't develop rabies after the vaccination is finished, but your immunity drops over time and so you need periodic booster doses whenever you are exposed again.
