Worrying about rabies and other diseases
I have completed my rabies vaccination in 2013 full course of 4 doses. But in recent years I have taken 3 times booster dose in last 1.3 years. Total 3*2= 6 doses. If I found any wound in my body I thought it was because of street dogs. Went to hospital they said you are not sure so it is better to take. It was not confirmed dog bite in all three times yet. But in prescription they have mentioned its under catagory 3. Attached for your reference. My question is there still any chance of rabies as there is mentioned catagory 3. What does that mean of catagory 3? I wanted to know I am completely safe from Rabies or not. And despite I have taken 3 times booster dose also wanted to know I am safe from its major long term side effects or any other major long term diseases in future. Kindly clarify.
