Hi,

Generally, the antibodies to rabies virus persist for five years or so after complete vaccination with Anti- Rabies vaccine. Also, as you already got the vaccination doses in 2020 and 2022 also. Therefore, in my opinion only a single booster dose will be enough in your case for complete prophylaxis against rabies as a result of your recent bite.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
