Can I take rabies vaccine booster ?
Can I take rabies vaccine booster doses after 5 months of complete course of pep as of 7/07/2024, if I suspect an exposure ( not sure/ very little chance of exposure ).
And would it be safe as I took complete course just 5 months ago. Should I be worried about any possible long term or permanent side effects or consequences ?
Would if be safe even if later it turns out I wasn't actually exposed to the virus ?
