Based on the history you have provided, no additional anti-rabies vaccination is required at this point.
You have already completed a full 4-dose post-exposure rabies vaccination schedule, followed by the recommended 2-dose booster schedule (day 0 and day 3) after a subsequent exposure. The bite that occurred on 12/12/2025, which is the same day you completed the booster course, happened when your immune system was already adequately primed and protected. Protective rabies antibodies do not suddenly disappear within hours, and booster doses are given precisely to ensure rapid and strong immune protection during repeated exposures. Additionally, the dog involved is a pet and vaccinated, which further reduces risk significantly. You have also done the correct and most important first step by washing the wound thoroughly with soap and water for 15 minutes.
Therefore, as per standard rabies prophylaxis guidelines, no further vaccine doses or RIG are indicated for this exposure. Continue routine wound care and observe the dog for 10 days as a precaution. If the dog remains healthy, that further confirms there is no rabies risk. There is no cause for anxiety regarding rabies from this incident, and you are considered adequately protected.
