Been Administered Rabipur. Irritation In Skin, Itching. Get The Vaccine Done Again?

hi,
i have been administered Rabipur 1.5 years (17 months ) ago on 0, 2,6,14,21 days whereas in the the website it is stated that the vaccine should be administered on 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 days is there any problem regarding that.
2) yesterday a stray dog dashed against me while it was running although i was wearing a pant and no visible scratch marks or teeth marks . i feel an irritation in that area and it may be because after that i was scratching that place after it dashed ..
3) in such case should i get the vaccine fully done again

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The schedule of Rabipur is 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days.
But what you have received schedule also may produce immunity against rabies but it may not confer full expected level.
Yesterday, if there is scratch, or bite, or spill of saliva or secretions of the stray dog, then you will require the another schedule of rabies vaccination.
Hence I suggest you to consult the doctor for examination of wound and further advise.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
