If you finished 28th day dose in your first schedule no need to repeat it again. If not , finish 28th day scheduled dose. No need to give again upto one year. And if recent bite is superficial no need for immunoglobulin injection. If any signs of infection use antibiotics
Next Steps
Use antibiotics if signs of infection in wound
