Got the scratch from dog
Hi,
While playing with a dog,my 5 years old son has got mild nail scratch near to his neck.
I consulted a doctor , she suggested for 5 shots of anti rabbies . My son has taken 3 injections.
So,my question is ... Is it required to get another 2 injection also?
Thanks,
Sumit

Its not anti rabies injections its a post exposure anti rabies vaccination with a fixed course on fixed days to rule out every possibilities of rabies in affected patients. So pls complete the course if you want to prevent all the possibilities of developing the disease.
