Rabies vaccine
How often do i need to be vaccinated if I work with street dogs frequently?
Last September-October, I have taken 5 doses of XPRAB. I have not been bitten but I get constantly licked (mostly on clothes, but sometimes also on skin)
How often do I need to be revaccinated? Since its almost a year I was wondering if i need any doses

You can wait upto 24 month, without exposure.
According to you , you are exposed daily with street dogs ( licking is dangerous)
Better you take complete doses of vaccination again
