Yes, the marked upper outer arm (deltoid skin) is the correct site for an intradermal rabies vaccine, and a small amount of blood or vaccine leaking out is common and does not reduce its effectiveness; the puncture mark usually heals within 2–3 days, the vaccine will still work fully as intended, and the 3-month rule (needing only two booster doses if re-exposed) applies after completing the full PEP schedule, including with the intradermal regimen. Since I am a veterinarian, it is still advisable to consult a physician, and the final decision should be taken by the treating doctor.
