Hit By Bat On lips while riding bike
I have been hit by bat on lips while my way home on 23rd may night 8 o'clock. I washed the spot where it hit within a minute with water , no blood or bite marks. I took the first dose of ARV vaccine on 25th may. My doctor said as there are no symptoms HRIG vaccine is not necessary. But i am worried as it hit on my lips and don't know saliva may have come in contact with mouth, also i read that new people who had never had exposure before should get HRIG as bat is classified as Category lll. Can i take it along with my second dose which is under 7 day period
