Should One Full Course Of Rabipur Be Taken For A Dog Scratch On The Back?
I got a very light dog scratch on my back. There is a very little rash which is not even easily visible. But still as a precaution I took 1 shot of titanus and 1 of rabipur within 1 hour. Do I need to complete the course of the next 4 shots? If yes, then what is the schedule of those? Kindly help.
