Why don't rural people get vaccinated when they are bitten?

Because rural people are used to it, besides, these vaccines can't be covered by medical insurance, they are too expensive, and they don't have this awareness. They don't know how to vaccinate.

Because the probability of getting rabies is very small, I don't think so. Rabies is contagious, so there must be more than one sick dog in a certain area. Conversely, if no one in your area has had rabies, it means that your area is relatively safe and people in this area will feel good. Remember that it is relative, not absolute. You still need to get vaccinated if you are bitten.

In the past, there were not many families with dogs in rural areas, and there were few incidents of dogs biting people. Even if someone is unlucky and bitten by a bad dog, they basically don't get vaccinated. In fact, this is understandable.

The old people in the village also said that the vaccine was only available in the last 20 years. In the past, people were bitten by dogs. If the situation is more serious, they will ask the barefoot doctor in the village to apply some herbs. If the situation is not too serious, it is basically a mistake, as if it never happened!

In the past, if someone was bitten by a dog in the countryside, many people would not take it seriously, because the medical conditions were poor in the past, and many people did not understand the harm of rabies. Even if I want to go to treatment, my family is poor and has no money. Moreover, there was no rabies vaccine in the past, and rabies breeding in China only became popular in the 1970s.

The importance of vaccination:

Vaccine is a biological preparation used for vaccination, which is mainly made of pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites through artificial detoxification, inactivation and transgenic technology.

Then after inoculation, it can stimulate the immune system to produce corresponding antibodies, thus achieving the benefits of preventing infectious diseases. Vaccination plays an important role in controlling and eliminating infectious diseases.
