Yes, but remember to use the same type of antirabies vaccine. Eg: if 1st dose was Rabipur, use that for rest. If vero-cell vaccine, continue all with same.
Next Steps
Take antirabies vaccine at the earliest, without any delay after a bite, after getting full information (on risks of vaccination/need for antirabies immunoglobulin/observation of suspected rabies-animal, etc)
