I lost my last prescription so they gave me full course. Today i took day 0 on both deltoids intradermal. Is there any nagative impact i took full course instead of booster. Should i take only 0,3 now and stop!! As for booster the quantity is only .1ml but in normal its .2ml in day 0. So extra vaccine cause any issue ?? Please reply doctor.

• First, eating “cat-contaminated food” is NOT a typical route for Rabies transmission — rabies spreads through bites/saliva entering wounds, not via ingestion in usual situations
• You already had a booster 15 days before, so your body already has protective antibodies

Since you were recently vaccinated, you only need two booster Day 0 and Day 3. You have already completed the Day 0 visit. You should get one more dose on Day 3 (7th April) and then stop.
