Hi,
Yes your doctor is right in telling you that now there is advise to use 4 doses as compared to 5 doses of anti rabies vaccine (rabipur)
As you have already been given anti tetanus toxoid i assume that your wound was thoroughly cleansed.
So rest assured and go ahead to take the remaining two doses of vaccine without fail.
Keep monitoring your wound also and keep it clean and dry.
Take care.
