Your rabies IgG level is 10.12 IU/mL, which is far above the protective level of 0.5 IU/mL recommended by WHO.
This means your body has strong protective immunity against rabies.
Since you already completed vaccination 2 years ago and there is no new exposure, there is no need for another dose now.
Next Steps
• No booster required at present.
• Only take rabies booster doses if:
• You get a new bite, scratch, or saliva exposure from an animal.
• Or you are in a high-risk profession (veterinarian, animal handler, lab worker).
If a new exposure happens:
• Take 2 booster doses on Day 0 and Day 3.
Health Tips
• Avoid unnecessary repeated rabies vaccinations.
• Seek medical advice immediately after any new animal bite or scratch.
• Keep a record of your previous vaccination dates for future reference.
You are well protected at this point, so there is no need to worry about rabies right now.
