Sir I have been taking post exposure anti-rabies vaccine. I have completed 3 shots and 2 shots are pending. I got my third shot today only. I have been receiving intramuscular injections. My doubt is that I rubbed my injection site after receiving the injections. I got to know today only that we should not rub our injection sites after receiving the injections. So do I need to repeat my vaccines?

You will get the full immunity even if you rub the injection site and there is no logic for telling not to rub the injection site and I fail to understand why such wrong ideas are spread.
