Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Yes, Abhayrab is a commonly used WHO-prequalified rabies vaccine (purified vero cell rabies vaccine), and even though it is considered generic, it is safe and effective. There is no need to repeat the dose with a brand-name vaccine like Rabipur. Continue the same vaccine schedule (Day 0, 3, 7, 14, 28).
Regarding rabies immunoglobulin (RIG):
It should be given only once, ideally within 24–48 hours of exposure along with the first dose of the vaccine.
Dosage is 20 IU/kg for HRIG (human) or 40 IU/kg for ERIG (equine).
For your weight of 66 kg, that would be approximately:
1320 IU of HRIG (e.g., 6.6 mL if 200 IU/mL)
2640 IU of ERIG (e.g., 6.6 mL if 400 IU/mL)
As much of the immunoglobulin as possible should be infiltrated around the wound, and the rest can be given intramuscularly at a distant site.
📍 Please complete your full vaccination schedule even if the wound seems minor.
For any further guidance, you can directly consult me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one double three two.

Are you trying to pick up a fight with the Prime Minister ?
He is a strong proponent of the generic medicines and you are challenging his advice.
From this picture you don't need immunoglobulin.
