Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic.
You are already declared safe for present dog exposure so no more worries now.
One school of thought considers even four doses as a full immunization for rabies.
The immunization is for rabies and not for alcohol.
It will have a negative impact on liver. You can take but do so judiciously.
I hope that answers your query.

Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome back.
Certainly the doctor is right. I myself have reassured you nearly three times at separate times in my previous answers that there is not much issue about rabies in your case. Still you are afraid.
It is abnormal sensitivity to fear.
You may visit a good psychiatrist if you happen to be absorbed frequently in simple events like this.
I think you stay in XXXXXXX you may talk to Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX at Dwarka who is a well known XXXXXXX based psychiatrist friend of mine.
I hope he will support you psychologically.
Take care.

Welcome to healthcare magic.
The rabies vaccination can not cause rabies by itself, even if your dog is not rabid.
It will not do harm but only protect you from rabies
If your fear troubles you much or you remain obsessed then take appointment of Dr P XXXXXXX his number is XXXXX
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
