HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Rabipur is an intramuscular injection ( given in the muscle). In adults, it is recommended that it is given in the deltoid muscles which are found in the upper arm.
It is not recommended in the thigh or buttock region.
If it was not given in the correct way then it may not have been as effective as it should be.
I hope this helps
