Hi,
understand your concern. Yes, you do not need to be vaccinated just by a lick of rabies infected dog. The contamination with the infected dog is always direct bite or lick on the open wound/scratch. If the skin is intact, there is no need to worry. Hope this helps!

If you have completed the full course of rabies vaccination, it is unlikely that you will need to take the vaccination again. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider or a local animal control agency in your area for specific advice on your situation.

"the immunity induced by a full course tissue culture vaccine persists for 3-5 years in a normal healthy person. Any re-exposure during this period shall necessitate administration of two boosters spaced a week apart. Or 0 and 3 (ijcp). No anti-rabies serum is indicated (immunoglobuline) up to five years following full dose primary immunisation. However consult a qualified doctor personally in such events.

Protection (after rabies vaccination) is tested in laboratory by virus neutralising antibody (rvna) titre which should be 5 iu/ml of serum in the vaccinated person, which is considered protective. If titre is found lower, booster dose of tissue culture vaccine is given. There are only 5 centres where this test is done. One is at nicd - delhi. Your query and response are more academic. Always consult proper physician for clarification.

Not made clear whether you are taking 3 dose pre exposure preventive immunisation or 5 dose post exposure treatment. It is important to take these doses on prescribed day. But in practice, some short delay is OK
