Hi
Thanks for your query.
Incomplete data like age, sex, site of dog bite, etc.

You have to take FIVE doses of inj anti rabies vaccine intramuscularly (deltoid region of your arm) on the following days....0,3,7,14, and 28 days.
(Day "0" is the day of taking the first dose of the antirabies vaccine)
Beside you should also take inj Tetanus toxoid (intramuscularly in the buttock), the cleaning and dressing of the wound should be done.

Yes, you can have sexual intercourse during the period of vaccination.

Hope this answers your query.
