Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Usually arv doses are given on 0,3,7,14,28 / 0,7,14,28 so as tou have already been vaccinated you neednt worry...If the wound was category 3 wen the dog bit you for the second time have RIG injected around wound else u neednt worry as u will be immune to the virus for the next 1 to 2 years...If dog bites you after 1 year take a booster dose of two arv injections with or without RIG...So right now u neednt worry much and you are safe as you have been vaacinated already....
