Since you have completed a full anti-rabies vaccine course just two months ago, you already have protection against rabies. In most cases, if you are bitten or scratched again within this period, you may not need a full course again, but you should still seek medical advice to determine if a booster dose is necessary. The risk from the new bite is lower since the dog that bit you was vaccinated just 10 days ago, but it's important to consider the type of bite and the wound’s severity.
For better evaluation and treatment, I recommend consulting me directly. Alternatively, you can reach out via WhatsApp by contacting me at eight zero zero nine eight two one double three two.
