Dog Scratch after Full Post exposure rab
I had a cat scratch in June 2025 and completed the full post-exposure rabies vaccination course on 7th July 2025(day 0,3,7,28) from a government hospital. Later, I got a stray dog scratch in my calf muscle on 1st August 2025 over my cotton pants, the pant was not torn though .
I was told that I am immune for 3 months only after completing the course. So a booster was not needed.
Am I fully protected from the August scratch?
