Booster dose rabies
Hello Doctor,
I took rabies booster dose 15 days before. Now on 3rd aprl 26 i ate cat contaminated food. I took vaccine on 4th aprl 26. I told them to give booster dose. I lost my last prescription so they gave me full course. Today i took day 0 on both deltoids intradermal. Is there any nagative impact i took full course instead of booster. Should i take only 0,3 now and stop!! As for booster the quantity is only .1ml but in normal its .2ml in day 0. So extra vaccine cause any issue ?? Please reply doctor.
Also how much risk to consume cat contaminated food? I have cut in mouth.
Taking a full course instead of a booster for rabies vaccine is completely safe and will not cause any harm; since you already took Day 0, you should just take the Day 3 dose and then stop (no need to complete the full course), and regarding eating cat contaminated food, the risk is extremely low even with a small cut in the mouth so you are already well protected and there is no need to worry.
