Antirabies vaccine
Hello doctors
I got my 1 st shot of the antirabies vaccine after a small cat bite. The shot was intradermally( schedule given -0,3,7,28)
but there was no bleb formation . Will I get
immunity from that vaccine.
I have completed the 1st three shots (ie 0,3,7)and bleb formation took place during 2 nd and 3 rd shot
The cat bite was not deep,and healed completely within a week
Should I start the vaccine schedule again from the beginning or just complete the last vaccine

We give intradermal doses of antirabies vaccine which leads to bleb formation but sometimes what happens is the injection gets delivered below the skin layer into the fat which will not cause a bleb formation but this will not cause a much greater impact as you also had your other doses which were delivered in the correct way.
Next Steps
You should just take the final dose on the given date.
Redoing the whole course again is unnecessary and won't give any extra protection to you
on the other hand it can even lead to a decrease in the effect of the vaccine itself.
