Anti-rabies vaccine concern
I got two boosters dose of anti-rabies vaccine in Feb.
2026. Approx 4 months before.
2 days before at around 7:30 pm I saw a couple of bats flying above me and then 2-3 mins later I felt something touch/hit my head but when I looked back nothing was there. Should I get boosters again? I got two doses in Sep 2025 as well and 4 doses before that. Since my feb boosters were 4 months ago, do I need boosters?
My rabies vaccination history is quite intensive as I also have a dog and it bit me twice. I have included it below:
4 doses in 2023
1-2 booster in 2024
Then 4 doses in 2025
2 boosters in sep 2025 and
2 boosters in Feb 2026.
For the recent exposure do I need boosters?

No not necessary intact skin is not a risk
And indian bats r mostly fruit bats , with very low risk,
Since u already have booster doses ur already protected.
