I had taken full 5 doses of anti rabies vaccines in september, 2021 and again 2 boosters on days 0,3, the days 3 dose taken on 28 july, 2022. How long can the protection remain if I had taken the booster within one year, in july 2022? Actually, there was a monkey sitting on my gate eating something and after 3-5 minutes I washed the gate and some of the water bounced in my eyes and face. Can I get rabies if any saliva might have fallen on the gate and got in my eyes with the water. Do I have to take vaccine again? I get very scared of rabies as a lot of monkeys and dogs are in our neighborhood. I will be grateful if someone can confirm that if only bite and scratches should cause worry or such incidents also need vaccination.

As rabies dies as soon as saliva dries up. So according to history ,no chances of rabies transmission.
