Anti rabies vaccine.
Today on 20-2-19 when I wake up I saw their was a little cut mark in my leg but I don't know how it happened. But I am getting worried if It's due to dog's nail that I didn't noticed...I have fear of rabies.
Earlier this month I have taken anti rabies vaccine 2 doses, also last year as well:
7-2-19 : Abhay rab vaccine.
10-2-19 : Abhay rab.
December 2018: 2 doses of Abhay rab.
October 2018 : 3 doses Abhay rab.
September 2017: 5 doses of Abhay rab.
So my question is will these vaccine will protect me for the incident of 20-2-19 if it has happened by any dog nail etc ,as few days ago I have taken 2 doses on 7 Feb and 10 Feb this month as mentioned above..or again I have to taken vaccine

Hi
You are required to take the vaccine again (in case you are sure that you have been injured due to dog's nail).
You need to take the vaccine on day 0 and day 3, that is on 20th Feb and 23rd Feb .
As 20th has already lapsed, you can take the vaccine on 21st Feb and 24th Feb.
