So I have been previously fully vaccinated for rabies (but its been like 8/9 yrs) and recently I got a small scratch from a cat. So I have gone with rabies boosters and taken on 0 and 3 days. But I have been confused as I have consulted some doctors some of them are saying to take only 2 doses and some are saying to go with 3 doses on day 0 3 and (7 or 14). And due to this I have pending 3rd dose and its been over 3 days more from the 7th day. But the doctor said me that you can take 3rd dose on day 7 or 14. So should I go for the 3rd dose or 2 is enough as on the manual of rabipur vaccine it is said that you should only need to take 2 booster doses if fully vaccinated previously. So should I go with the 3rd dose or not and is it effective after the 7th day. And I also fell ill after the vaccine doses like headache fever dehydration body ache which only last for 24 hrs but is it common?
