Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Rabies is a disease if it occurs to any person is almost always fatal.
So one should always complete the course of vaccination post exposure.
For the interrupted course. better to repeat it completely. Please consult you physician for this.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
