Rabies booster dose
Hello doctor,
My rabies vaccination schedule:
January 2021 - 5 doses of abhayrab
August 2021 - 2 doses of abhayrab
September 2021 - 1 dose of rabipur
Now on 18th Oct 2021, a stray dog bit me on my fingers, a little blood came out and I washed it off.
Do I need to get a rabies booster dose??
Thanks
