Posted on Thu, 6 Jan 2022
Question: Hi,

A week ago, I was bitten by a dog. I started taking anti-rabies injections. Unfortunately, after taking 2 out of 5 anti-rabies vaccinations, I was again scratched by a stray dog. Now, my question is this: Should I start my vaccination from the beginning or continue with my ongoing vaccination.

I'm terrified. Please provide me consultation.
