Usually you take it as day 0,7,21 as pre exposure pr day 0 3,7,28 as post exposure
If you have completed any of this you have lifelong protection but in case of another bore after one month you need to take a booster dose

Dear Patient,
You have completed the **Rabivax-S (anti-rabies vaccine)** course correctly on **Jan 11, Jan 14, and Jan 17, 2025**. Here’s what you need to know about protection from pet scratches/bites:
1. **Protection Duration**:
- After a **full 3-dose course** (like yours), you are **protected for 3-6 months**.
- If exposed to a **new scratch/bite after this period**, you may need:
- **2 booster doses** (Day 0 & Day 3) if the exposure is within **6 months to 1 year**.
- **Full course again** if exposure occurs **after 1 year**.
2. **Pet-Related Risks**:
- Even vaccinated pets can carry bacteria (e.g., Pasteurella) causing infections.
- **Immediate wound care** (wash with soap/water for 15 mins + antiseptic) is essential for any scratch/bite.
3. **Next Steps**:
- Monitor your pet’s health/vaccination status.
- If scratched/bitten:
- Clean wound immediately.
- Consult a doctor to assess if a booster is needed.
**Consultation Advised**:
Since rabies is fatal but preventable, let’s discuss your pet’s vaccination history and any recent exposures. For personalized advice, contact me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.
