If I need another rabies vaccine shot
Hello Doctor,
I had taken a series of 5 vaccines when a dog had bit me 9 years back. Then 3 years back I had to take two doses on days 0 and 3 due to a scratch from a dog.
There are a lot of stray dogs and monkeys in my locality. Two weeks ago a dog had bit me on my leg, though not deep, blood was there. So, I too anti Rabies vaccines on days 0,3 and 7. I took one extra dose as on day 7 morning a monkey had bit me, while removing clothes from washing line. I don't know why this happened to me. So I took the third vaccine dose. Now do I need to complete all 5 vaccines, i.e. do I need to take 2 more doses on days 14 as well as 28?
Kindly advice. Thanking you respected Doctors.
Regards.
