Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you were bit by a dog which is known to transmit rabies,which is 100 % fatal but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.
As you were bit on 19-10-14 and taken first shot on the same day, remaining shots to be taken on following days over the deltoid muscle.
Day 0- 19/10/14
Day 3 - 22/10/14
Day 7- 26/10/14
Day 14 - 2/11/14
Day 28 - 16/11/14.
The anti rabies vaccines should be taken of aforementioned dates.
Thank you.
