Yes .. don't gluteal region ..
Next dose tell to take deltoid region
Rabies vaccinations are typically administered in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. This is because the deltoid muscle is easily accessible and has fewer blood vessels and nerves compared to other areas like the gluteal (buttocks) region. Injecting vaccines into the gluteal region could potentially lead to injection into a blood vessel or a nerve, which can be uncomfortable or even cause complications. Therefore, the deltoid muscle is the preferred site for rabies and many other vaccinations to ensure safe and effective administration.
