Contact with rabid dog
I got in touch with a domestic rabid dog on 19th June. It was not showing any symptoms at that time. My elbow got in touch with his nose/lips for a brief time. My skin was intact but I rubbed that part on my trouser as I was driving at that time. After 1 hr, I might have touched the same spot on my trousers while picking my phone and might have touched my mouth/nose/eyes with those hands. am I at risk of rabies? The dog starting showing symptoms on 26th June and died on 28th. I started my post exposure vaccination on 29th. I had no symptoms and had my 4th dose today. Can I assume myself safe since this worry is affecting my mental health a lot.
