Hello, Sir
I can certainly understand your concern.
As per your history, your father requires a complete anti rabies vaccination schedule.
Additionally he requires wound care with soap wash and betadine ointment.
I recommend RABIVAX vaccine-HDCC strain on 0, 3,7, 28 DAYS.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe this vaccine to you.
