Concern regarding rabies vaccine
Hello, actually there are 4-5 stray dogs that often come and hide below my car. Today, after I just shaved, a dog was sneezing consistently and after a minute of its sneezing, I had to go out to that same spot. Does rabies virus also stay in air for sometime like COVID, like the droplets from its sneeze? Could I be infected from them and do I need rabies booster vaccines as I had got 5 doses in September, 2021?
