I got bit by a dog today morning. But I already took arv 6 months back and I took all 5 doses, am I supposed to take more arv doses? Earlier doses I took of was abhayrab-pf (company name of vaccine) vaccination and I didn't took it in proper dates like mobile because the dog who bit me wasn't found to be rabid and owner of the dog showed me his vaccination dates and he also lived after 10 days so I was relaxed but took all 5 vaccinations anyway but not in proper dates there was gap of 4-7 days in last 3 doses, but I took all the dosages i.e 5 doses. So do I need to get vaccinated again ?the vaccine I took was in day 0-4-8/9-17-35 approx. So will it give me immunity to today's bite? Does overdose of arv harm human body?

In my opinion you should take full post exposure pro phylaxis again. An overdose of vaccine is unlikely to occur.
