Re prev concern
Had initially taken 5 ARVs three years back, that is why when there was re-exposure due to dog scratch, had taken 2 boosters on 25/07/22 and 28/07/22. So, I haven't taken incomplete dose anytime. My concern was just that for rat bite do I need ARVs? If yes, only 2 boosters required?

Ah if that's the case then there's no need. In case of rat bite rabies is a lesser worry. Bigger issue is other diseases
