I have a bat exposure today on my ear a very little but I have history of taking 5 shots 5 years ago then a booster dose 9 months ago then 5 dose complete where 5th dose just completed 40 days if I needed or not
Since you completed a full rabies vaccination course just 40 days ago, no additional rabies vaccine or rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) is required as per current WHO/Indian guidelines. Wash the exposed area thoroughly with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes. If there was a definite bite, scratch, or saliva exposure to broken skin/mucosa from a bat, you should still be evaluated by a healthcare provider to confirm the nature of the exposure and receive appropriate wound care.
Proper evaluation and personalised advice are needed for your concern. A detailed consultation would be best to provide accurate guidance.
