Dog bite for the second time

2018-04-24 13:18:13
Hello Doctor, I wanted to know if the dog bites for the second time while the patient is already on vaccination (for example: 5th dose is due in few days from the first bite )does he /she needs 5 full doses of new course of vaccination or only a booster is required or no vaccination is required..? Also would like to know how long the previous vaccinations will provide immunity? Thanks in advance
