Hello Andrew, I was bitten by a stray dog on 15 February 2016 and have gone through the Anti Rabies vaccination process that included 5 injections administered on 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days and ended on 09 April 2016. I would like to know if at all I would be again able to donate blood as I had been doing so before being bitten by the dog. Thanks.
