I was not bitten by dog but saliva spread all over my hand and may be in my mouth and i've already gum problems. Doctor told me nothing to worry but I convinced him so he gave me three shots instead of five. Because i've been previously vaccinated 5 years ago. And most important thing that worries me is that i've taken rabies first shot after nearly 35 hours. Please tell me is their any chance of vaccination failure or me getting rabies.

Hello lybrate-user. If you had rabies then you might already have developed symptoms. So it is not a problem now.
