Hi
Sorry to state this, but your query statement is incomplete & unclear (am I to assume you are mentioning about ?booster dose of antirabies vaccine -ARV??)
If the recommended full schedule of ARV, as per vaccine manufacturer is completed, (either pre-exposure prophylaxis or post-exposure therapy), no need for ARV after each incident of bite, till the time of periodic booster of ARV comes up!
Next Steps
The question can easily be answered by your local Dr at Manila, especially if you have the previous used, filled-in vaccine insert supplied with ARV: kindly visit Dr with the filled-in vaccine insert
Health Tips
ARV has evolved over time, 1st Chick embryo fibroblast, then Vero-cell, then Human diploid cell...so vaccine manufacturer recommendations are the best guide, which is evident in vaccine-insert!
