Actually one of my friend was bitten by dog on 9th of August and on 20th of August I went his home to meet him. But I didn't notice where the bite was and carelessly touched my friend's wound with bare hand and after that I immediately touched my eyes because some foreign objects was fallen in my eyes. But to stay on safe side I decided to take anti rabies vaccine and took the 1st and 2nd shots on time. But when I told this incident to my doctor he told me stop taking vaccines because it was not an exposure. So I stopped taking it and got busy with my work but on 30th of October I again felt bit paranoid and thought to complete my vaccine shots so I took a shot on that day but today a stray cat scratched me. So I'm confused what to do what not. Do I need to take again full course of vaccine or just complete my previous shots.
