I got a series of 5 rabies shots about a month back, and it was the Abhayrab brand. Recently, I got scratched by a dog again, so I decided to get 3 booster doses instead of the usual 2. I'm really anxious about whether having so many vaccines could cause any serious side effects. Could you please advise? I'm worried and need some guidance.
