Do I again need rabies vaccine?
I took 5 doses of Abhayrab vaccine from April to may in 2025 and Two booster doses on 9th and 12th Of December 2025 . Again today 17th Jan 2026, I got bitten by a stray dog , I didn't see any bleeding but after 5 hrs I could feel the pain on my leg so i washed the wound with life buoy for 15 mins. Do i again need to have the rabies vaccine if yes how many??
I ALSO did a titre test this month called Rabies IGG test ELISA method which came out greater than 4 IU/ml.

Since your titer is greater than 4IU/ml you don't have to worry. No need any extra vaccination shots
