Sir, I am previously vaccinated with 5 doses of rabies vaccine (rabipur) before 2 months. After it I am 2 times bitten by a dog so I take two - two booster doses separately each time. Last dose is 16 days before. How long these vaccines protect me from another suspected bite? Sir I am vatenary student also and it is normally happened in future also. So give your valuable suggestions regarding protection from another suspected bite?

The immunity provided by booster dose last for 2-3 years. Since you have taken booster dose recently, you don't have to take any arv now. If you are at risk of frequent dog bite, I advice you to take one booster dose every year and and two more doses at 3-5 year as a post exposure exposure vaccine. Consult physician for further advice.
