I got bitten by a monkey on 21st april,2017 and as i was travelling that so I took the first rabies vaccine after 5 hrs . Then I took another on 23rd and the third one i took today on 30th, now next is on 15th may and then next on 15th june. this schedule was given to me by the chemist as somehow doctor was not available that moment. I am just concerned about the schedule as i read on internet that schedule is on 0,3,7,14,28.. So now in my case i took on 0,2(23rd) ,9th(30th) day.. Is that okay or is there anything concerning here...?? please help. I am attaching the pic which i took just after the bite.

Complete the remaining 2 doses within the 28 day duration. To test the adequacy of protection you can do a RFFIT test, which measures the level of rabies neutralising antibodies.
