Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
WHO Guidelines still recommend 5 doses for category II and category III exposure.
On day 0 , 3 , 7, 14, and 28 .
The other schedule is four doses,
Two doses on day 0 , and one dose each on day 7 and day 21.
In your sister's case there is no need for immediately getting a fifth dose.
She can get a booster dose on day 90.
