Please help Should I revaccinate myself?
Doctors, Recently I heard about fake Abhayrab ARV being distributed in the markets from November 2023 of a batch number KA24014 , I took 5 doses of Abhayrab vaccine from April 2025 to May 2025 in Kolkata. The question is am I safe? I checked the batch number in my bill , none of the batch numbers have KA24014. But two of the bills had the same batch number which is KE24004 , is it possible?. And the batch numbers written on the vaccination card are different from the ones which are in the bill. I have attached the photos for clarity. Should I consider taking full 5 doses again?? Please suggest Thank you.

If the vaccine batch and manufacturer can be verified and confirmed genuine → no repeat course is needed.
If the vaccine cannot be verified or is confirmed counterfeit → the person is generally advised to restart a full post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) course with a WHO-approved cell culture vaccine.
