Yes, it is generally acceptable to continue the rabies vaccination schedule at a private hospital, even if a different brand of the vaccine is used. WHO guidelines state that different WHO-approved rabies vaccines are interchangeable during a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) course. However, it is preferable to continue with the same brand if possible.
If the same vaccine brand is unavailable, ensure that the alternate vaccine is WHO prequalified and administered according to the standard intramuscular schedule (usually Day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28).
