Rabies- guinea pigs help
Hello doctor, I bought two guinea pigs in January 2021 and got ARV full 5 doses in Jan 2021 itself, then in August 2021 I took 2 booster shots because one of the guinea pigs scratched me. Now, again, in September one of the guinea pigs scratched me and no blood got out, should I take another booster shot now??? Please advice Thanks
