2021-12-13 17:29:43
Hello doctor, I have heard that rabies booster should be taken after 3 months if bitten again so my schedule: January 2021: 5 full course of ARV August 2021: 2 rabies booster dose And now, on 10th December 2021, a dog bit me and slight blood came out, it has been more than 3 months since my booster dose, do I require a booster dose??
