Hello
Since you have got both the ERIG and vaxirab injections, I believe you got inj TT along with it , you just have to complete the course which is from Day 0,3,7,28 . These are the 4 doses which you’ll receive as intradermally injections.
Also make sure to do clean and dressing of the wound after washing with soap and water dry them and apply ointment.Use Tbact o/i for the wound dressing.
Next Steps
Complete the course of post exposure prophylaxis

Complete the course. Nothing else is required.
In a Category 3 bite (which includes bleeding), immunoglobulin is required and has already been given to you.

Hello,
Please complete the full dose of ARV. Which is five doses. Since you’ve had your first dose already, follow through and get the other four doses on days 3,7,14,28. Also, make sure you check on the bite wound daily for any change in colour, increased swelling, stiffness, discharge from the bite wound or fever. If any of the above symptoms appear visit a doctor physically or consult here for antibiotics and further management. In the meanwhile apply T. Bact ointment over the bite wound.
