this is a question you should be asking your medical provider. if the medical provider administering the rabies shots did not recommend your husband receive the shots as well then i think that answers your question. if you didn't already ask this question of the medical provider then by all means do so. becoming infected with rabies is rare though it's more common in developing areas of the world. human-to-human transmission of rabies is extremely rare so your husband probably is not at risk. but again i want to emphasize you should consult your health care provider immediately to find out if your husband should receive the rabies shots or not. sorry you're going through this!
should my husband get a rabies shot if i were bitten by a stray cat? . i was bitten by a stray cat we're on a base in turkey. i waited the 10 days to see if the cat had rabies symptoms myself instead of having her captured and killed and even though she shows no traditional signs of rabies i'm now receiving the shots. should my husband also be getting the shots since rabies is transmitted by saliva? i haven't seen anything giving any information on whether it could be spread in human saliva or not so should he get the shots? please give a clear answer.
