Brief Answer:
does not appear to be of serious concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concerns. You have been through a lot of late. It is a fact that even after being previously vaccinated, another dog bite necessitates further doses of vaccine. Usually it is two doses.
But beta propriolactone is not proven to be carcinogenic in humans. And the dose used in vaccines is miniscule. Even if you have received two full courses, it is not likely to cause any problem.
Rabies is much more deadly than the vaccine which is practically harmless. So we can't take any chances.
All the best.
Regards
