Question: hello sir my self XXXXXXX I want to know 5 injection tin of dog bite immunity for how many if dog bite in 3.or 4.day after completion of first course injection required or wht to do
Brief Answer:
No need to start immunization from beginning...you're already immunized...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern.
If you have already followed the immunity injections for rabies as scheduled, but was bite again from the dog after 3 -4 days of completion of first course, there is no need to restart immunization from beginning.
You are already immunized. Just do not forget to get another immunoglobulin shot as per schedule (repeated immunization shot).
Hope this eases your mind.
