Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
There are differnt regimens in use for vaccination of anti rabies vaccine. There are different brands, so it makes no difference what ever the brand may be ,but should be of standered company.
The regimen to be given may be of different recommendations. Next time when you have the injection, follow the regimen written on that . What ever the regimen the effect will be the same. For the second injection you can have the injection according to the instructions on the brochure of the first injection.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
