Hi, Yesterday I got bitten by a stray dog on left leg . Since I was wearing a jeans, there was no bleeding but still skin got peeled off and there was a scratch mark or bite mark, can't say exactly. I contacted a physician there and he adviced RABIVAX (5 doses). I took one dose immediately but when I searched online about rabies most of the site prescribes Rabies Immunoglobulin along with Anti rabies vaccine. Please any one can help me what to do? Is RABIVAX is enough or not because it's a very fatal disease.
