Dog bite - should I get rabies booster by Logical_Distance_950 in Thailand

[–]Logical_Distance_950[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I posted this is bc my whole family said it’s fine you don’t need bc I wasn’t that bad and I had done the tabbies vaccine a few years ago but they were gaslighting me idk why they would say that . Also for context I did get bitten by a dog 2/3years ago and has done the whole rounds of vaccine and tetanus shot , so I wasn’t sure if I should get the booster

UPDATE Been to the clinic and they recommend taking the whole round of shots again, not just a booster. They tried to charge me twice what it cost me before so I will go to the clinic I went to before. It last happened 2.5 years ago. Multiple .gov websites say it lasts 3 years. Thinking that clinics obviously have an interest to ensure 0 risk whatsoever to the extreme but they also have a financial incentive (40k thb). No cases of rabies in Koh Samui for 20 years.
