I RECEIVED THE FULL COURSE OF RABIES VACCINE (4 DOSES) INCLUDING ERIG ON 01/12/2024 (LAST VACCINE DATE). But yesterday a street dog scratched me (minor scratch no bleeding but pus and pain) A little bit confused is it from the dog scratch?? (picture attached) I went to govt hospital and they recommended 2 booster doses on day 0 and day 3. (Picture attached). Is it enough for protection? I took tt injection and O day booster dose yesterday. <

Since your previous vaccination is within 1 year window period, 2 shots of booster shots is enough. It is the routine procedure
