Abstract

Introduction: Rabies is a viral disease that is almost always fatal once clinical symptoms appear, with dogs being the primary source of transmission. This study aims to describe the rabies vaccination profile of dog bite patients at Natarandang Health Center, Wolomeze District.

Data were collected from medical records and analyzed descriptively. Results: Most patients were male (65.6%), with the most common bite locations in the calf (34.4%) and hand (28.1%). The most frequent first aid measures included checking the dog's infection history and seeking medical attention (34.4% each). The most commonly administered rabies vaccine was PCECV (81.3%). Delayed medical care was associated with fever (65.6%) as the predominant symptom.
