HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is nothing you can do at this point regarding missed dose of the rabipur. If you complete the immunisation, it would still provide your with a lot of protection against possible rabies.

It is quite possible that the dog, though a stray, does not have this infection as its prevalence is decreasing world wide.

You would likely be ok since you did receive shots even if not on the first day.

I hope this helps
