Dear doctor, 5 months back, I got dog bite and got fully vaccinated. Then, after again I got dog bite within 5 months, and got advised to get 4 days vaccination by local primary health centre doctor. After completion of 3 rd dose, somebody told that, 2 vaccination is enough. I request you to kindly advise me, whether any health issues will come due to 3 rd vaccine, or no issues. And also please tell me, is it okay to avoid 4 th dose. Totally I got 3 doses for repeated dog bite. Thanks in advance.

Hello! you have to again take complete vaccination if the previous vaccination crosses a period of 3 months. 1. Situation a: dog bite > complete vaccination > dog bite again after 3 months > get complete vaccination again. 2. Situation b: dog bite > complete vaccination > dog bite again within 3 months > only local wound care. You come under situation a. Please do finish all the doses your doctor has advised. That's the proper treatment. Do follow your doctor's advice.
