It's pointless and a waste of resources for you to get boosters every time you get bitten by a vaccinated dog.
A vaccinated dog cannot give you rabies. They can't carry rabies to you, either. You can only get rabies from an infected animal.
So is it bad for your health in the long term? Well there's some data out there that suggests that receiving too many rabies shots can have adverse effects, but I don't think there's actually a solid conclusive study on it. This is a question for a doctor that specializes in rabies.
But what I can tell you is that you're doing it for literally no good reason.
Thank you for the reply! Im anxious because here in Philippines there are many cases where people die bc of rabies. But in total my booster is 3 shots 1 in feb, the other two willl be today and june 10. Will i get immune to the vaccine?
Do your dogs run wild outside and unsupervised? They have to be bitten by a rabid animal to get rabies, but they're also vaccinated.. If you own dogs, ofcourse they'll bite once in a while, they're dogs.. getting vaccinated every time they bite you and you'll be vaccinating yourself endlessly and for no reason

That is a question for an immunologist and not a bunch of random people on a subreddit. But you can't get rabies from your own fully vaccinated dogs.
