Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic and thanks for the query.
It is a course of 5 injection and one booster. All intramuscular specially on deltoid (upper arm). Course goes like this- day 0(day of dog bite), day 3, day 7, 14,and 28th day and booster on 90th day.
Take care.

Hi,
3 doses are must for rabies vaccination
If u are not able to trace the dog, better complete the 5dose schedule.
Intramuscular route in arm is better for absorption and better take than gluteal region.
Thanks
