Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
if again a dog/any animal bite happens, you need not to take any anti rabies vaccine.
Only wound treatment.
If "after 3 months" of vaccination, animal bite happens, you need to take 2 booster dose on day 0 and 3.
No need of rabies immunoglobulin.
