Anti Rabies
Hello, I have taken in total 7 doses of Anti Rabies since May 2018. Including 3 pre exposure in May, 2 booster in October End. One in January and one 5 days ago. How long does the immunity lasts and in case of dog bite. More vaccines is required or whatever I have already taken is enough.
I am asking because my pet dog licked my jeans and somehow I think the cut on my finger may have come in contact with that part.

First of all is your dog exhibiting any signs of aggression.
Observe the dog for abt 2 weeks for the same.
Immunity lasts for a long time
Since u had a recent vaccination you dont need another vaccination.
But if its after a year or so u need to take booster doses 3 in no.
Next Steps
As of now observe your dog for signs of rabies. If you are suspicious that it has rabies - signs of which - excess salivation, excessive agression, excessive barking and running around than usual.
