Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Your child received the complete anti rabies vaccination of 5 doses as per the schedule.

This complete schedule is enough and will protect the child from developing rabies.

Fourteen injections on the stomach near navel is an outdated one and it is not required in your child.

Your child is protected as he received the complete schedule of anti rabies vaccination, so nothing to worry.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
