Your doctor practices in an environment where rabies is fairly common, whereas most HealthTap doctors have little or no experience with rabies or its prevention. You'll get much more valid advice by listening to your doctor; or if for some reason you don't understand or believe her advice, get a second opinion in the Philippines. Good luck.
