Dog bite- Change of vaccine brand

2017-06-17 18:05:26
I already had two doses of rabies vaccine after a dog bite. These doses were of xprab vaccine. Now as it is not available in market I have been advised by chemists to use rabipur. Hence I used it as my third dose. Doctor recommended five dose of rabies vaccine. I want to know if we change the rabies vaccine brand will it cause any problem?

If the dog is normal after a week, vaccine may not be needed.

if the earlier brand cannot be procured, take similar vaccine of another brand
