What Are The Side Effects Of Having Extra Doses Of Rabies Vaccination?

You do not need any more vaccination doses
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I apologize for delay in reply. Unfortunately I do not have access to internet hence could not answer it on time.
However let me assure you that you would not have any problem with the dog bite and you would not die of rabies. You should be as healthy as a person who would not have got a dog bite. Interestingly the vaccination of dogs are much technically developed and would 100% protect them against Rabies.
Having said that since you had finished 4 doses for extra protection cover or anxiety or any other issues you had faced socially leave it where you are. You do not need a 5th dose as your doctor said. He is right. But your anxiety needs treatment. Let your doctor address that with short acting anxiolytic medication.
I can definitely say that you would not need a vaccination dose further.
Hope this answers.


5th shot should not harm you after 4 shots
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You had already taken 4 shots and still did not experience any side effect so very unlikely you would not harm with a 5th shot.
It is up to you to decide if you want to go further take the 5th shot or not, however it is not required.
All the best.


And sir one more interesting question sir if a drop of blood of unknown person who is infected or may not be infected with any disease falls on your skin and skin is not opened or not wounded will it lead to any disease!!as I mentioned skin is not open or wounded!!
No
Detailed Answer:
No worries at all even if you do not take 5th dose.
If there is not cut in the skin, the chance of infection is not there. Skin is highly protective against all germs, microorganisms even virus.
All the best
