Also I had taken a One shot of Rabipur booster last June 3rd 2011 & June 10th 2011. Also My Dog is vacinatted with Rabies Vaccine(Pfizer) twice in this year cycle In this case. My Dog was doing well & Healthy at present. Yesterday, my pet had bitten me in my finger and it was a minor scratch while she was playing with me, which had leaded a mild blood clot. I dont find any rabbies symptoms in my pet, since we wont allow our pet alone in the roads. She was maintained only inside our home. 1.

Thanks in advance....

Hello.Welcome.In a previously immunized person vaccine is given on day 0 and 3 and is considered complete.In your case you don't need it since your dog is already immunized by rabies vaccine and also you can watch your dog for next 10 days.Good luck.
