Is it true that even 3 doses of prep give enough protection for future bite within 3 months and boosters are just for maximum protection i mean to say that 3 doses already  make risk very low if bite on foot not on high risk areas like head face neck

No, though it's a good measure to take 3 Pre bite dosesof ARV, it's always advised to go for full 5 doses of ARV schedule.

Pre exposure shots or post exposure shots your antibody titer place a major role in your protection. So check your titer to get a clear picture on the immunity status

No, this is not completely correct. Three doses of rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) do produce protective antibodies and provide a good level of baseline immunity. However, they do not eliminate the need for post-exposure boosters if a bite occurs.
