Just a typical question , different doctors have different opinion regarding these doses .
Even books have different opinion.
But in my opinion I would like to advise day 0, 3, 7 , 14 and 30 days .
While others like to give 0, 3, 7 and 14 .
Mind these doses are after bitten by dog.
Immunosuppresant drugs and other substances like smoking , alcohols should be avoided during vaccination.
Intercourse not forbidden.
Even yesterday a patient came to me ( 4th July 2015 ) had "RABIES " bitten 2 years back but don't vaccinated.
In my opinion take full therapeutic doses as advised by your doctor but according to ma 5 doses.
Good luck.
