A member asked:
I had pep rabies vaccination 6 month back, i am bitten by un vaccinated 3 month old baby 3 days back, do i need to take rabies shots once again and if , then how many?

Maybe/not: A review by local health authorities would be a reasonable 1st call. Such exposures in the wild often need a booster based on the seriousness of rabies. Whether or not they would consider you exposed from this event requires a more thorough review of the situation.
