Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The current exposure falls in category 2 and carries certain amount of risk. Hence, a complete course of anti-rabies vaccine needs to be taken along with the local wound care. As per WHO post-exposure prophylaxis recommendations, one dose of the vaccine should be administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30. Hence, kindly complete the course of the vaccine as per the prescribed schedule. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
