If just after contamination of conjunctiva of eyes with rabies virus with soap & water. Is it safe to wash eyelashes & conjunctiva with soap & water? I fear that while washing area of dog licking with soap & water, some soap & water went into my eyes & then I washed my eyelashes with soap & water (a little maybe went through as my eyes were red). Do I need to take anti rabies booster dose (i already completed full 5 vaccine course just 50 days ago [last/5th dose on 10th august 2021], do I need to take 2/3 booster shots for this incident again? Pls help.

If you have completed your vaccination recently no need of any booster dose just washing the exposed area would be enough unless it's more than 3 months of your vaccination.
