Dogs saliva
Hello Sir/Maam. I am 23 years old Male. In 2025 around may ending or June starting I dont remember exactly I had vaccination for saliva exposure of dog in my mouth and I had ulcer in my mouth at that time. I took four doses and on first dose I had another injection in my glutes region which i am not sure what it was. Again now in April 2026 I had dog saliva exposure in my mouth and I had some cuts in my mouth. I got 2 only doses which was 0 and 3. Are these doses enough for me? And now today while i was driving scooty I had some water stuck in my beard which I did not observed and a dog passed by barking with open mouth. I am getting feared that the water stuck in my beard could be dogs saliva as I was not sure of water stuck in my beard. And some water went inside my mouth and I have some cuts in my mouth which happened due to accidental bite. Now I am getting feared that the water which went in my mouth could be dogs saliva. Do I again need to take vaccine again. Please help me.

No need to worry. You already took proper doses fully protected. Current situation is not a real exposure. No extra vaccine needed. If still anxious, consult I’ll guide you.

"Given your extensive vaccination history—a full 4-dose course in mid-2025 (plus immunoglobulin in the gluteal region) and a recent 2-dose booster (Day 0 and 3) in April 2026—your body is currently at its peak antibody level. The incident you described, involving potential water or saliva droplets while riding a scooty, is not considered a clinical exposure. Even if it were, your recent boosters have already 'primed' your immune system to neutralize any potential virus immediately
Next Steps
No More Vaccines: You DO NOT need any more vaccine doses for this incident. Taking unnecessary shots can lead to vaccine fatigue and is not medically recommended.
Trust the Science: The 2-dose schedule (0 and 3) for previously vaccinated individuals is the gold standard WHO protocol. It is more than enough to protect you.
Managing Health Anxiety: Since you are experiencing frequent fear regarding "potential" exposures, I suggest focusing on the fact that you are among the most well-protected individuals against this virus due to your recent shots.
