Vaccine have a proper schedule. You have to take as per schedule. Vaccine can be taken on alternate arm.
As dog bite happened on 16 Dec. If dog is normal and alive then no need to take vaccine. Most crucial period is first 10 days. If dog is infected with rabies then will not survive more than 10 days. If there is no information about dog or street dog then you must take full course of vaccine.
