Hello Iqbal
welcome to HCM

Subsequent rabies vaccine can be taken in any hand
No problem you can give him in another arm
as such site of injection doesn't make any difference
this vaccine triggers the production of antibodies a against rabies virus which occurs in various organs of body

please observe strict aseptic precautions while taking injection

Hope this addresses your question
best wishes
