PEP is preventive measure aftr dog bite to introduce immunity against rabies..it is almost same bt it also includes injection of human immunoglobulin which is sort of ready made antibiotics which instantly kills rabies virus from wound site or those who r still in blood stream u need to take booster dose of vaccination every 3 to 5 years to keep reminding body abot rabies virus..its like military exercise before goin to a potential war. rabies symptoms r very obvious hydro phobia, irrational behavior pattern,photo phobia,seizures, excessive salivation..god forbid once contracted it has 100%mortality widot any exception even in worlds finest health care system. so nt to worry u shud follow protocol to avoid all dese stress.

despite vaccination n booster dose if u hv constantly fear of gettin disease please c a psychiatrist he cud be of great help.
