Regarding Rabies Dose Delay [Urgent]
Was scratched by a stray dog and got a few rashes/ bruises in the abdomen area and back. I got myself vaccinated in the next 12 hours with a Rabies vaccine + Tetanus.
They put me on the same vaccination for Day 3, Day 7, and so on. My day 3 shot was delayed by a day and day 7 shot was delayed by 2 days. I took the shots, just that they had 1 and 2 days delay respectively.
There was no blood from the scratch and I had washed it with Dettol and water immediately after the scratch. Also, the locality was different so I can't trace the dog.
Is the delay in the 2nd and 3rd shot going to be an issue?
Currently, I am feeling very anxious thinking about it.

No problems, just take all the 5 doses as scheduled.0,3,7,14 & 21 days.
If no bleeding at scratch site it's a good thing.
