Whenever a complete anti rabies vaccination schedule is taken,whether it is the pre exposure or post exposure schedule, the immunity is long lasting,perhaps also life long. However,the protocol is to take two booster doses of vaccine in case of fresh exposure,on day 0 and day 3 .

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
To prevent rabies, four to five doses of anti-rabies vaccine are administered on the 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days of a bite. “we abandoned the 16-dose vaccine years ago. The present vaccine is safe and it's the only way to prevent rabies. Rabies is fatal, but 100 per cent preventable
let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
