Recently, the news that a 3-year-old boy in Henan was bitten by a dog and died is embarrassing. Especially parents with children, it is even more sad to see such news.
According to the current media citing the child's family, the process of the incident is that on April 21, 3-year-old Xiaoxing (pseudonym) was seriously injured by a "husky" attack that suddenly ran out of the road near Zhaogang Village, Xinye County, Henan Province, while playing on the side of the road. ”
Finally, after a series of treatments, he died 18 days later in the early morning of May 9.
After the incident, the first reaction of many people was, of course, to condemn the "dog owner". You must know that unlike ordinary pastoral dogs, "huskies" are pet dogs, which are generally raised by owners and are unlikely to be pure stray dogs. If the "dog owner" uses a little snack, it will not allow the dog to attack and bite the child on the side of the road without restraint.
Therefore, this incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm again for all "dog owners" - your "irresponsibility" may end up being a matter of human life. Moreover, it is also likely to cause a catastrophe for yourself. If you can't be truly "responsible", it's better not to have a dog.
At the same time, the incident occurred in rural areas, which also reminded that the management of rural dogs should also be strengthened in a targeted manner.
At present, the local government is still investigating who the "dog owner" is, hoping to have a result as soon as possible, so that the irresponsible dog owner can pay the price he deserves, and also give an explanation to the children and their families who have suffered unjustified disasters.
Of course, seeing this, many people may still speculate whether the child did not receive the rabies vaccine in time after being bitten? However, the truth is that Xiaoxing had rabies symptoms such as fever, phobia, mania, and swallowing disorders before he could get the fifth dose of rabies vaccine, and finally died after rescue failed.
However, that's not the whole truth of the matter. I noticed that there is a detail that may have been overlooked in the information about Xiaoxing's vaccination process disclosed by the media, that is, after Xiaoxing was bitten, the parents took it to the rabies vaccine on the same day. However, "there is no rabies immune globulin locally". Considering that Xiaoxing's injuries were serious, he finally hurried to Nanyang City under the advice of the doctor.
However, the situation that should not have happened happened again: they arrived in Nanyang City at eight or nine o'clock in the evening that day, but "after running two or three places, either there was no rabies immune globulin, or the door was closed", and finally found a 24-hour canine injury treatment and vaccination clinic to clean the wound and inject rabies immune globulin.
Therefore, we can't help but ask, if Xiaoxing can be vaccinated with rabies immune globulin at the same time as the first time when the rabies vaccine is vaccinated after Xiaoxing's bite, will there be a chance to save it? Why is there no immunoglobulin in the entire county?
You must know that public information shows that the permanent population of Xinye County has reached 600,000, and the registered population is as high as 850,000. Is it really normal for such a populous county to find rabies immune globulin?
According to public reports, as early as 2020, the National Health Insurance Administration made it clear that human rabies immunoglobulin, anti-rabies serum and symptomatic treatment drugs for rabies attacks have been included in the list of medical insurance drugs.
However, if such a drug cannot be found in a county with a large population, and patients in need cannot be vaccinated in a timely manner, this obviously greatly weakens its true effect. What's more, the vaccination of such drugs generally has very strong timeliness requirements. Therefore, in terms of configuration, the need for patients to be vaccinated nearby must be taken into account.
Therefore, such a phenomenon should not occur again. How many counties in the country still have this situation, which is worthy of investigation by relevant departments. This kind of basic medical resources that can "save lives" at critical moments should not be lacking.
