Chances to contract rabies

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

My brother(27) had bitten by a dog a month ago in right fore arm. First shot was given at government hospital with in an hour. And RIG was given in private hospital after 48 hrs of the dog bite incident. All the vaccine shots are given as per schedule day 0,3,7,14,28. Day 0 was given by ID method at government hospital and rest were by IM method at private hospital. Will this difference in method of injection cause any problem? Dog is also alive and healthy till now (29 days passed till now). Am I safe from rabies? And if dog is alive for a month then it means it doesn't have rabies in his saliva. Thanks in advance

The only advantage of id over im is the dose required is less. Other than that the efficacy of both routes are the same. If the virus was present, it would have manefested by now.
