Yes — it is correct NOT to take Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) in your situation.
Why:
• You completed a full rabies vaccination course on 21 Nov 2025
• You were re-exposed on 20 Jan 2026, which is within 3 months
• In previously vaccinated persons, RIG is never indicated, even if:
• There is blood
• There are multiple scratches/bites
• Re-exposure happens during an ongoing booster course
RIG is given only once in a lifetime, and only to people who have NEVER been vaccinated before.
So skipping RIG in all three incidents is medically correct and guideline-based.
Next Steps
1. Continue the vaccine schedule already advised
• Do NOT restart
• Do NOT add RIG
• Complete the remaining doses (last dose on 17 Feb) as planned
2. Proper wound care is critical
• Wash scratches immediately with soap + running water for 15 minutes
• Apply povidone-iodine if available
3. No extra vaccines needed for scratches occurring:
• During an ongoing course
• Within months of a completed course
Health Tips
• Rabies virus does not overwhelm vaccine-induced immunity
• Multiple scratches ≠ higher risk once vaccinated
• Anxiety often mimics rabies symptoms — trust immunology, not internet stories
• Focus on dog avoidance and wound hygiene going forward
You are fully protected, and the treatment you’re receiving is correct and safe.
