Based on your history, you have taken multiple complete courses of Rabies Vaccine, including recent doses in Feb 2026.
Next Steps

Health Tips
• Bat bites usually cause clear puncture marks or noticeable sensation
• Avoid repeatedly checking or overthinking minor skin marks
• Your recent vaccination gives strong protection
• Excess unnecessary vaccination is not beneficial and increases anxiety
⚠️ Seek care only if:
• Definite bite/scratch confirmed
• Wound present with bleeding
