👉 can incubate for a year or more
👉 If risk exposure has occurred, it is never too late to start post-exposure prophylaxis
👉 According to both WHO and CDC guidelines, a decision to vaccinate is a decision to use RIG as the vaccine will not kick in for several weeks

Tollwut weiterhin auf dem Rückzug

Die Aussetzung der als Core-Komponente im Jahr 2021 durch die StIKo Vet hat sich bislang bewährt.

Seit 2008 ist Deutschland frei von der terrestrischen . Das heißt, es wurde seit diesem Zeitpunkt mit Ausnahme einiger, weniger importierter Fälle in keinem empfänglichen - oder (, , etc.) Tollwut nachgewiesen.

Seit der Aktualisierung der Leitlinie zur von im Jahr 2021 wird von der StIKo Vet die Tollwutimpfung für Hunde, Katzen und empfohlen, die für grenzüberschreitende über einen gültigen gegen Tollwut verfügen müssen. Innerhalb Deutschlands ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein dem -Virus exponiert ist, so gering, dass aus Sicht der StIKo Vet, das Kriterium für eine Core-Komponente, das heißt, dass „jedes Tier, zu jeder Zeit“ mittels Impfung „gegen Tollwut geschützt sein muss“, nicht mehr erfüllt ist.

These ignorant motherfuckers are going to give us . I wonder what the "medical choice" types have to say about this dumb shit. There's a reason rabies is rare in the US. Public service message, spay/neuter your pets and get them vaccinated. It's the law.

as there would be no way of knowing if dogs are carrying a deadly that could be passed to humans, such as .

The investigator also documented pregnant dogs sold for , including one who yelped as she was yanked by the neck from the truck with a long snare pole, grabbed violently by her leg, and stuffed into a bag.

Redditor replied to one of my comments about having recently gone to the ER after a bat exposure, suspecting the ER recommended too short a vaccine course.

That's heart-stopping for me; I've also had the post-exposure series.

In a case of suspected immunocompromise, I can't imagine not getting that fifth shot. You can manage (most) side effects, but you can't manage dead.

Most rabies symptoms show in 30-90 days, but can take as long as 20 YEARS.

UGH!!! This is just horrific!
"A moose acting aggressively in a Northwest Alaska community tested positive for rabies this month, marking the first rabid moose case detected in the state — and North America overall.

The case has prompted Alaska officials to increase rabies surveillance across a large swath of the state.

Alaska Department of Fish and Game staff based in the Nome area received several reports June 2 describing a moose in the community of Teller — about 70 miles northwest of Nome — with bare patches of skin that was behaving strangely and acting aggressively toward people, the department said in a statement...Fish and Game staff, after consulting with Beckmen, killed the moose that afternoon because of its aggressive behavior and signs indicative of a rabies infection...

Three days later, on June 5, the Alaska State Virology Laboratory detected the rabies virus in the moose’s brain, Fish and Game said in its statement."
