Do I need HRIG or not?
A dog licked a tiny broken skin on my foot. I took vaccine the next day and 2nd dose today. Then I found out they were giving me wrong dose
(.25ml IM). I instantly visited Safdarjung hospital and they told me i was right they were giving me wrong dose (by they i mean my district's govt. hospital)
They started my vaccination again (.1ml on each hand ID this time)
So the dog licked me on 17th April at 10 pm, i took my first wrong shot on 18 and second wrong shot on 21. My real vaccination started on 21 again but I am 4 days late into the process. So how important hrig is for me now? And I observed the dog that licked me today in the morning. He is doing fine and was drinking water. His family is also fine and living here for years but the dog is 7-8 months old. I am extremely confused and worried. Also sometimes my hands are shivering, i think it's because of too much stress. I've attached a photo of broken skin (now healed). And please don't reply with "Consult with me on whatsapp".
