Dear Mr XXXXXXX
As the exposure is significant you definitely need Rabies prophylaxis
As you have had previous complete Post exposure prophylaxis, this time you only need two does 3 days apart. The injection is to be given in deltoid region only that is the arm.
I hope I have attended to your query satisfactorily.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
