I was bitten by my dog in the face on 12 march, 2019 and received my arv shot with immunoglobulin beriab p and second shot of arv on day 3 but I did not take any arv injection on day 7. My dog is vaccinated for rabies. Also I have received full course of anti rabies vaccination 4 months earlier say around november, 2018 and also I received anti rabies vaccination course around april, 2018 and even before these 2 vaccination courses, I received arv course on june-july, 2017. I'm suffering from oral lichen planus since 2 and a half years. So I mean to ask that do I need to get another 3rd arv shot this time on day 14 as I intentionally missed out on arv injection at day 7 cause I have been vaccinated earlier and even this time I received two arv injections specifically on day 1 & 3 at march 12 & 15, 2019 respectively. Please respond asap. Thanks.

As you are vaccinated earlier, there is no need t take the full course now and you have immunity (protection) for a 5 year period.
