Hi
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for the schedule of anti rabies vaccine.
As per the current recommendation of prevention of rabies following dog bite, a total of five doses should be taken on 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days.
Since you have started taking the vaccine on 4th of this month, the remaining doses should be taken on 7th, 11th, 18th and the final dose after 14 days of the last dose taken on 18th day.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
