Bats and rabies

2021-09-24 12:55:27
Hello doctors, Today I was standing under a tree and it was clear sky, two droplets fell directly into my eye while I was looking up (some bats have been seen in that area but I'm not sure) should I take a rabies booster dose??? (Last vaccination: 5 ARV in January 2021, 2 booster doses in August 2021, this bat incidence happened today, 24th September 2021) Please advice
