Vaccination comes under primary level of prevention. It's easily understood that In preexposure it's primary level of prevention. But In post exposure we don't know that the wound is contaminated with virus or not. so pathological process is started or not is not confirmed. So it can be put under primary level of prevention. But if we confirm that the virus is present in the wound than post exposure prophylaxis can be put under secondary level of prevention. Now, we start vaccination without confirming the presence of virus so it becomes primary level of prevention.
@@mayursayta Thank you sir..but my sir told me once in exam that preexposure prophylaxis for rabies is primordial prevention because we give vaccination before the risk develop ("dog bite" is risk)so it comes under primordial prevention... that's why I am confused...
@@belapatel3911 I think preexposure is under primary prevention. Because the best primordial prevention for rabies is no exposure to dogs at all to prevent the risk of being bitten by them. This is just my opinion.
