Sawyer,REHS/ -' Public Health Director Cc: Dr.David Lindsay Enc: Rabies Fact Sheet 1600 Osgood Street,North Andover,Massachusetts 01845 Phone 978.688.9540 Fax 978.688.8476 Web www.townofnorthandover.com What is the treatment for people exposed to rabies? The treatment for people exposed to rabies involves two medications.One,called rabies immuneglobulin(or RIG),contains antibodies to fight the virus and is given once. The other medication is rabies vaccine, which ensures long-lasting protection,and is given as five shots over the course of a month.(Rabies shots are no longer given in the stomach.)People who received the full series of rabies shots in the past need only two rabies vaccine shots. To work best,the medications should begin as soon as possible after the bite or scratch. However,if the animal has been caught and will be tested for rabies,you can wait for the test results to see if the shots are necessary. How can you prevent rabies? • Avoid wild animals,especially bats, skunks,foxes,and raccoons.Do not feed or pet strays.Avoid any animal—wild, farm or pet that you do not know.Report any animal that behaves oddly to your local animal control official. • Teach your children to avoid wildlife, strays,and all other animals they do not know well. • Do not handle dead, sick,or injured wild animals yourself, call the police or animal control officer. If you must handle the animal,use heavy gloves,sticks or other tools to avoid direct contact. • Make sure your pets are vaccinated against rabies and that their shots are up-to-date.By law,all dogs, cats and ferrets must be vaccinated against rabies. • Feed pets indoors and keep them indoors at night If they are outside during the day,keep them on a leash or fenced in so they cannot wander. It is possible for vaccinated pets to get rabies.Pets allowed to roam freely are more likely to get rabies and possibly expose people and other pets in your home. • Fasten trash can lids tightly. Garbage attracts animals(like skunks,raccoons, and strays)looking for an easy meal. • It is against state law to keep wild animals such as skunks or raccoons as pets. There are no rabies vaccines for most wild species. • Cap your chimney with screens and block openings in attics, cellars, and porches to keep wild animals like bats and raccoons out of your home. • If you have bats in your house,talk to a professional about bat-proofing your home. • Animal control officers,veterinarians,their assistants,and others who have a lot of contact with strays or wildlife should get routine rabies vaccinations to protect themselves before they are exposed to the virus. Where can you get more information? • Your doctor,nurse or health center • Your local board of health(listed in the phone book under local government) • Massachusetts Department of Public Health,Division of Epidemiology and Immunization at(617)983- 6800 or toll-free at 1-888-658-2850 or on the MDPH website at http://www.gov/dph Revised:March 2004
