Efficacy duration of anti rabies
I have referred online and offline consultations several times, referred to internet, doctors but get conflicted answers. I kind of developed an OCD of rabies since everyday we have monkeys on terrace and dogs near the house, on roads daily.
I had taken 5 doses in 2017 and again in Oct,2021 (full courses).
Since then as I am also posted in rural area, I had taken 3 booster ARVs in July 22, 3 doses again in Nov 2022, 3 doses in March 2023, 2 doses in July 23 and now 2 doses in August 2023 (02 and 05 August). Won't I even have protection for 3 months after boosters?
I was told by one doctor I consulted that one is protected upto 2 years after primary vaccination by minor bites/scratches and several said to take 2 booster doses each time. I am afraid of non bite exposures usually.
Can some infectious disease expert please tell me if one can get infected, if a few drops of saliva of monkeys fighting, eating on trees falls in eyes or face or if street dogs sneezing just near or beside us?
