Since the anti-rabies vaccination schedule was not completed previously, you are not considered adequately immunized at present. Therefore, in the absence of any current exposure, vaccination is not required now. However, if there is any future exposure (such as a bite or scratch), the patient should be managed as an unvaccinated individual and must receive the full post-exposure prophylaxis regimen, including all recommended doses of anti-rabies vaccine and, if indicated, rabies immunoglobulin. If the full vaccination course had been completed earlier, only two booster doses (Day 0 and Day 3) would have been sufficient for any subsequent exposure.
