Rabies re exposure

2017-12-26 06:55:07
I was bit by a street dog 6 weeks ago. Completed my post exposure rabies vaccination 2 weeks ago. Now again bit by a dog today. Should I take booster dose or previous vaccine is enough?

If you were bit by dog 6 weeks ago then your vaccination schedule is - five-dose regimen is administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 into the deltoid muscle. If you are bit again take one more dose on day 90.
