I finished my anti-rabies vaccine series on August 7, 2017, but its only been 15 days and I'm bitten by a dog again. Do I need to get vaccinated once more? The dog had its shots in June 2017. Can you advise?

View allI'm really worried because my pet dog bit my hand today and it's bleeding. I got three doses of the vaccine about eight months ago and then got another dose just two days before this happened. That makes it a total of five doses I've had so far. Do you think I should get vaccinated again?
Yes you have to take one more booster dose 14 days after exposure.

I'm looking at my Widal test report and I'm really unsure about what it means. It mentions things like Salmonella typhi O and H, and also Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh, each with 120 dilutions. Can you help me figure out what these results indicate? I'm a bit anxious to understand if I need to be worried or if there's anything specific I should be doing.
yes

I'm kind of worried about this rat bite I got on my toe a month back. It was a small wound, but it did bleed a bit. I saw a doctor, got a TT injection, and took antibiotics to avoid infection. They also suggested I get the Anti Rabies vaccine, but I haven't gotten it yet. Do you think it's necessary for me to take the Anti Rabies Vaccine at this point?
yes you need to take rabies vaccination
