Hi dear
Yes this is sufficient but if the wound is very deep then he might have to take immunoglobulin as well. Which depends upon his weight how much to take .
So kindly consult on practo and send the picture of wound so i can guide u better
Take care

There are two types of vaccine delivery
If he got an intradermal injection on both arm the above preferred days is sufficient (0,3,7,28)
If the vaccine is administered as intramuscular in one arm then a 5 day regime is preferred (0,3,7,14,28)
