On 26.1.19 I completed the antirabies 5 shot series again on 5.6.19, I got bitten by a bat, do I need to take the booster doses or  am I still covered. What should I do? My question is how long does protection last.

Hi You  need  to  take  booster  dose Where you are  from? In the event of exposure through the bite or scratch of an animal known or suspected to be rabid, individuals who have previously received a complete series of pre-exposure or post-exposure cell-culture or embryonated-egg rabies vaccine should receive two booster doses of vaccine, the first dose ideally on the day of exposure and the second 3 days later. Rabies immunoglobulin should not be administered. Consult  physician near to you . Bat  causes many  other diseaes   rabies Do you have fever?
