Rabies virus
Received 3 shots of abhayarub (0,3,7) due to a dog scratch one month ago and again got scratched in my hand accidentally ( no bleeding but there was another wound just near the scratch also the dog licked my finger and his teeth touched but no bleeding) i washed my hand properly and also the scratch.
I took 4 doses again but one month after the exposure on(0,3,7,one between 14-28)... Do I have any risk of getting rabies?
And the dog is still alive but less active after 2 months of the incident now
Am I safe or not.. if not what can I do about it

If the dog is alive 10 days after the contact then the dog is not rabied at the time of contact, In your case you already have taken post bite course and dog is still alive after 2 months so there is almost no chance of getting rabies.
