Dog bite - Rabies fear
A stray dog bit me in my forearm 22 days ago. I took ARV as ID dose in gov hospital on the day of dog bite, two days later I took RIG in a private hospital. From second dose I have been given ARV as IM dose in private hospital. As if now completed fours doses of ARV. I have no symptoms. The dog is alive and behaving normaly till today(22 days).
Am I safe from rabies since my doses are changed from ID to IM also delayed RIG by 2 days?
