Anil XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
If given, it needs to be given on the first day (at the earliest)
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Rabies is a lethal disease. In case the dog was rabid, and if prior immunity was not present HRIg vaccine would be essential for protection. If that is to be given, it needs to be given on the first day (at the earliest). However clinical discretion is needed in order to determine whether it actually needs to be given.
Let me know if I could help further.
