A member asked:
I live in a dvlping nation, i wanted to take prep anti rabies shot(3 doses) but doctor by mistake gave a series of post exp.(5 doses), will i be ill?

No: Giving you 5 doses of rabies vaccine instead of three will not hurt you but has made you more immune. After taking a pre- exposure course of three if u do get bitten by an animal then u are supposed to take 2 more doses on days 0 and 3 to complete the course. So u have already done so. Nothing to worry about.
