Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The schedule of Rabipur is 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days.
But what you have received schedule also may produce immunity against rabies but it may not confer full expected level.
Yesterday, if there is scratch, or bite, or spill of saliva or secretions of the stray dog, then you will require the another schedule of rabies vaccination.
Hence I suggest you to consult the doctor for examination of wound and further advise.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
