Is It Enough Giving 3 Rabipur Injections To A Child After Dog Bite?

Hi,
A street dog bite my 5 years old daughter at buttuck, its not too deep, but a small teeth scretch is there, we took her to the doctor and got the anti rabbies injuction "Rabipur". the doctor recommended us that only 3 injection will work i.e. days 0 then 7 and then 30th, as the scretch is at buttock and not at the upper part near to brain, hence this will be sufficient. please advise.

All immunizations should be given for a complete schedule.
Most if the street dogs are dangerous.
Irrespective of the severity of injury please take a complete schedule- 0, 3, 7, 14 , 28 & 60th day.
