I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. To prevent rabies, four to five doses of anti-rabies vaccine are administered on the 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days of a bite. ?we abandoned the 16-dose vaccine years ago. The present vaccine is safe and it's the only way to prevent rabies. Rabies is fatal, but 100 per cent preventable let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
