Hello Doctor, I Have A Question. A Dog Bit My

Hello Doctor, I have a question. A dog bit my leg and I started taking the rabies vaccine. According to the protocol, I was given two doses on the day of the bite. After seven days, I was supposed to take one dose, but due to anxiety, I ended up taking two doses instead of one. Then, on day twenty-one, I was also supposed to take one dose, but again, I took two doses because I was still worried. So now I’ve taken two extra doses in total.

Also, for your information, I took the last two doses three days earlier than scheduled because I had to travel.

Will this have any negative effect on my health? Thank you very much.
