Thanks for contacting HCM
After completing rabies vaccination program you have immunity but if you are bitten again by a dog with possible rabies you need 2 booster shots. you will not need to have the full injections again but only 2 shots.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again for your medical questions and concerns
