Hi,
Rabies vaccine first dose is very important. A delay by one to three days in the subsequent dose will not be of much significance since you must have started to develop antibodies by now. Hence, do not worry. Kindly complete your vaccination according to schedule to ensure total protection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
