I'm On A Summer Visit In The Philippines. I Was

I'm on a summer visit in the Philippines. I was bitten by our pet dog yesterday, August 5, 2018 and was given the necessary cleaning and 1st dose of medication (VERORAB) in the emergency unit of a private hospital.

My next dates for medication are:
2nd dose (August 8),
3rd dose (August 12),
4th dose (August 19) and
5th dose (September 2)

My concern is I have to go back to work on August 26 in Dubai and I still have the last dose pending. Is it accepted to request for the last dose in a public hospital in Dubai (Rashid Hospital) if I show the Dubai medical practitioners my dog bite history of exposure paper, vaccine card and a medical certificate from the hospital which gave me the treatment?
