Rabies vaccine
So I got my vaccinated with 5 dose rabies vaccine from 28 Jan to 28 Feb. Now recently I again got exposed with dogs saliva on 26 july so my doctor suggested me with 2 more rabies vaccine. So on 27july I took the 0 day vaccine . But on 29 july by the morning I again got licked by my dog on my wound. But I didn't missed the 2nd dose ie; my
3 day dose which was scheduled on 29 july..
So my question is in between 0 and 3 day when I again get exposed , so do I need some more doses of vaccine?
Please help 🙏

You wouldn't need any further vaccination as you've completed the post exposure prophylactic vaccines
Make sure you protect your wound from now on

You did the right thing by taking the booster on 27 and 29 July.
The second exposure is already covered by the vaccine doses you took. So no need to take any extra shots. Just keep the wound clean and monitor dog's health if possible.
Next Steps
no need for revaccination

Since you already completed the full 5-dose rabies vaccination course earlier this year (Jan–Feb), you are considered previously vaccinated. For re-exposure, the WHO and CDC recommend only 2 booster doses on Day 0 and Day 3, which you have already taken.
The second exposure on July 29 (in between the 0 and 3-day boosters) is still covered by the ongoing booster schedule. You do not need additional doses at this point.
Next Steps
Stay alert and follow up with your doctor if you have any new exposures in the future.
