Brief Answer:
Don't worry you are 100% fine
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back to HCM,
If you have taken extra two doses of anti rabies vaccine as Re-Exposure prophylaxis it will boost up your immunity to produce RVnAb titers (Rabies virus neutralizing antibody titers) against the rabies virus and protect you.
It will protect you from rabies it will not cause rabies. Beta proprilactone antigen will induce protective antibody titers to fight against rabies. So it is not harmful.
Beta proprilactone antigen is not carcinogenic. I suggest you to take out all the fear associated with dog bite and the anti rabies vaccine.
I assure you that you are 100% fine.
Thank you.
