Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings from Dr Divakara P
Thanks for posting your query.

I have went through your present query and also your discussion with doctors in the past regarding same issue.

My answer also remains the same, you will not get Rabies due to excess vaccination. Yes there are certain side effects of Rabies vaccine but they shall occur within few days of vaccination and not later. So you can relax and not worry about vaccine side effects.

But what I have noticed is you have developed a phobia towards Rabies and the effects of rabies vaccination. In spite of many doctors words you are not relieved. I think this phobia is getting on your mind.

I would strongly recommend you to get a psychiatric consult and get counselled on how to overcome this phobia.( please don't get offended by my advise and consider it seriously, it will help you a lot )

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
