Your history seems confusing.
Do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment if you feel necessary.
As a general rule. If you have taken full vaccination once. Then after another bite. 2 boosters are enough.

Hello
no need to worry as you completed the arv vaccine before 3 months. You are completely safe. If you have so much doubt about whether the dog touched the food or not, don't eat that food for your own safety.
I hope this helps. Take care. Thank you.

It will not give any additional protection.
Any one of them is sufficient.
Both routes may give additional side effects like redness pain and fever.
But it will still protect you. It does not reduce effect also.

Both routes are equally protective.
Using both routes will not give you enhanced protection.
It may even increase risk of vaccine reaction like redness, swelling ,fever, flu like illness

Will slightly reduce protection time and efficiency.
No effect on current bite though just be careful. Don't get bitten in future and if you do, take booster dose on time.

Contact of saliva of animal with broken skin is a high risk factor.
If wound is active bleeding then you should get rabies vaccine + immunoglobulin.+ tetanus vaccine as well if not vaccinated in last 10 years.
If wound is not actively bleeding or you were previously vaccinated for rabies with full course, you only need 2 booster doses and no immunoglobulin.
