Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that you have taken the 4 doses of rabipur regularly so you have developed immunity against it. There is no need to take the complete rabies schedule again. You can take the fifth dose of rabipur and you will be protected with Rabies infection.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
You can contact me.
Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist.
Thank you.
