Do I Need To Continue Remaining Two Doses Of Rabipur Vaccine?

My dog was sick for few days and while feeding accidently the teeth had a contact on my open wound.I am not sure of completing the full rabies vaccine schedule to my pet. So next day i took Tetanus and started Rabipur PCEC rabies vaccine. I have completed the first 3 doses i.e 0,3 and 7 day. My dog is healthy now and its been 12 days since the accident. So my question is do i need to continue the rest of my 2 doses or is it ok to stop it now.

Hello
Welcome to HCM,

As you are bit by a partially immunized dog and taken three dose of antirabies vaccine on days 0, 3 and 7 along with tetanus injection.

As the dog is healthy after 12 days of bite, it suggest that dog is healthy and has not develoed any symptoms of rabies.

I would suggest you to take one more dose on day 21/28 , so that you can convert your post ecposure prophylaxis into pre exposure prophylaxis.

Thank you.
