Brief Answer:
You have to complete the vaccination with Rabipur or similar vaccine

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
Following a dog bite the antirabies vaccine like Rabipur is given on days 0, 3, 7, 14 & 28 days.
Abhayrig is an antirabies serum NOT a vaccine and it is usually given immediately following a dog bite, it should always be taken along with antirabies vaccine like Rabipur.

Since you have taken only doses of Rabipur, the remaining doses should be taken on day 7, 14, and 28 with Rabipur or a similar antirabies vaccine.

Hope this answers your query.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Take the missed dose now

Detailed Answer:

Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for your reply.
I can understand your concern.

From your query it seems to me you have already taken three doses of the vaccine as per the schedule but missed to take the FOURTH (4th dose).
Take the 4th dose of the vaccine now and the remaining doses should be taken as per the schedule.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Best wishes.
