Dear practo user
Individuals exposed to rabies who have previously received a full pre-exposure or post-exposure vaccination series should receive two booster doses of rabies vaccine: one dose immediately (day 0) and one dose on day 3. Rabies immunoglobulin is not necessary for these individuals.
Next Steps
Or you can do serological test for rabies antibody titers, if they are fine you need not to worry.
