Is Anti Rabies Dosage Of 5 Injections Sufficient?
Hi 7 months back I got bitten by my dog which is properly vaccinated but still went through the anti rabies vaccine process of 5 doses, today It again scratched me form her mouth and some blood also came out. Now I want to know whether I should again go for anti rabies vaccine process or not.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
If your dog is fully vaccinated then you don't need to worry about these injuries causing rabies to you.
