Dose of anti rabies injection
Sir
I was taking post-exposure anti rabies injection doses. I had exposure on 20th May 2019. So I took 5 doses of anti rabies injection and the fifth dose was on 17th June 2019. Out of these 5 doses, one dose was of Vaxirab, one was of Rabipur, one was of Xprab and two were of Abhayrab. After that on 19th June 2019 a street dog licked a wound on my foot. Hence I took two more doses of anti- rabies vaccine on Day 0 and Day 3. This time one was of Abhayrab and one was of Xprab. Now my question is that I read somewhere that Day 90 dose of anti rabies vaccine is also required which is taken at Day 90 after the exposure. It it required ? Do I need to take the Day 90 dose ??
Please help me out.
