Hello there. I can understand your concern. Rabies vaccine has to be taken in the arm (deltoid region to be exact). Not in buttocks not in the firearm also. Please don't take it in forearm. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and treatment. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
