The image shows an intact blister with no visible break in skin — no clear puncture or scratch, making this likely a Category I/II exposure. Since you were vaccinated 2 months ago, your antibody protection is still active; alcohol and sleep don’t significantly reduce vaccine-induced immunity. A booster is advisable as precaution — book a paid consult with me to assess properly and advise on the booster dose.

From your description, this does not suggest a significant rabies exposure, especially since there was no clear bite, bleeding or visible wound 👍 Also, having completed vaccination recently is reassuring. Please don’t panic, but a proper consultation can help assess the exposure calmly and decide if any booster is actually needed.

From the history and image, this does not appear to be a definite rabies exposure. There is no visible puncture wound, bleeding, scratch, or breach in skin continuity. A small bubble/blister or black dot without broken skin is not considered a significant exposure for rabies transmission.
Also, since you completed anti-rabies vaccination around 2 months before this event, you would still be expected to have protective antibodies. Alcohol intake or sleep deprivation does not suddenly nullify vaccine protection in an otherwise healthy person.
As the incident occurred 2 months ago and you remain completely asymptomatic, rabies from this event is extremely unlikely. No further booster is generally required for this described contact if there was truly no skin break.
