Detailed Answer:
Hi young man.
Thanks for your query. Nice to know your concern.
I would like to tell you first how the Anti-rabies vaccine works.
It works by causing your body to protect itself against rabies. The body makes substances (antibodies) that fight the rabies virus. They are called antibodies and circulate in the blood.
Since you have already taken 3 doses at an appropriate time, the work of the vaccine is already started. A delay of a day in the 4th dose (day 15) is no problem as this is going to work as a booster and you can take the next dose on day 29.
(It was of course not OK to take vaccine a day later of the prescribed date , but since the delay has already been done and just by 1 day for the booster dose, which acts as a ''booster for the previous doses'', which you have taken on time)
Just relax as you have taken your first 3 doses on time and do not worry.
I hope this answered your query with a proper reasoning.
i read on net that missed dose for one or two days acceptable...
i missed 4th dose but i take vaccine next day... does vaccine work??? i need to worry about it??? pls reply soon...

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your appreciation.
Yes, this is very acceptable.
Just do not worry as all the previous doses are working well.
You should not worry at all.
But see that the next dose is taken at an appropriate day...
Wishing you a healthy life and have a great day ahead
You may please rate this answer.
Yes. On Day 29... Fine - vaccine working already
Detailed Answer:
Vaccine is already working.
The next dose is going to be working as a booster hence takes it on Day 29.
You are fine.
Do not worry- it causes more problems than the missed day. Thinking of the worst, which is not true... So please just relax.
