2022-05-18 03:16:47
Hi, I'm 43 year old and got bite by a dog on 16th May. No blood but got a scratch below waist. Took anti rabbies vaccine on same day but in gluteal region. From internet I found that it is not that effective when it was given in gluteal area. My question is that shall I start again from day 0 today by taking the shot in my arm or should follow of taking remainig shots in my arm . Plz advise.
