Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You have given Rabipur shot to your son on saturday("0" day).
YOU have to give on Tuesday(3rd day), 7th day, 14th day and on 30th day.
The dose is one vial containing one ml of vaccine.
This is a must unless you identify the dog and obseve it for 10 days.
Even then 3 shots are necessary.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
