Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease which is also transmitted by bite of the monkey, it is a 100% fatal disease, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you have been bitten by dog previously for which you have taken three doses of antirabies vaccine and once again you have been bitten by the dog for which you have taken some treatment. According WHO categorizes who have to be categorized into Re-exposure categorizes. For which you have to take two doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0 and 3. As you have been bitten once again by the dog you have to take two doses of antirabies vaccine on to your shoulder. The aforementioned treatment will protect you against developing the disease rabies. Thank you.
