Was I exposed to rabies??

Was I exposed to rabies?? Around 7-8 days ago, I was driving my scooter around a park where one can hear a lot of bats. I could hear that there was a large flock of bats around the trees in that area. I recently heard in a rabies awareness seminar that bats can bite you without causing any pain or discomfort. So now after that day, I am having intrusive thoughts about rabies and I am just concerned about a possible bat bite on my head as I was not wearing a helmet that day while driving. I talked to my family about it and they say that I would have known if a bat had bit me. I have questions like what if had a bite without me realizing it? Is it possible?? I had taken five doses of anti rabies vaccine around 10 months ago after getting a cat bite. Do I need booster doses or is it just my anxiety lying to me??

Regardless of what may or may not have happened, you do NOT need another rabies vaccine. It is doubtful that a clinic would even administer one since you had the series less than a year ago.

But I've heard that the immunity lasts for only 3 months, isn't that true??

Three YEARS, at the very least.
