Rabbies vaccine to 2 year old girl
5 din pehle park me meri 2 saal ki beti kutte ke pass ekale chali gyi thi aur uski tale chu rhi thi mera 3.5 year old beta wahi par tha.
Jab maine dekha to uske hand wash kra di thi Ghar aake dikhi to ek bht halka chota sa scratch uske haath pe tha but wo confirm nhe tha ki dog ne kiya ya pehle se tha. Local doctor ko check karai to vaccine ki advice di doubt ke base pe. Ustime maine nhe lagwai baad me ghar ke neeche ek clinic me lagwa di to unhone 0.5 ml vaccine hi di peeche hip pe.
3rd day doctor ke pass gyi jinhone vaccine ki advice di thi to unhon aage thigh me puri vaccine lagai full ml aur bola ki peeche thigh me nhe lagate hai.
Ab mujhe ye smjh nhe aarha hai ki phli 0.5 ml dose safe hai ya asar nhe kregi. Baki ki to 4 dose sahi lagegi but first dose 0.5 ml hi lagi.vaccine name rabivax -s.

Greetings
The first dose given in the gluteal region (hip/buttock) is considered suboptimal because fat tissue reduces the vaccine's absorption and efficacy, making its effectiveness uncertain. However, the subsequent full-dose administration in the anterolateral thigh was the correct corrective action, ensuring proper immune response initiation. The standard pediatric protocol requires an intramuscular injection in the anterolateral thigh for children under two years of age. You should closely monitor the child for any local reactions, such as swelling or redness at the injection sites, or systemic symptoms like a low-grade fever. It is absolutely critical to strictly adhere to the remaining post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) schedule on the exact designated days to ensure full protection.

The scratch visible in the image appears very superficial. If there was no definite bite, scratch, or lick on broken skin by the dog, the risk of rabies is extremely low. However, when exposure is uncertain, starting anti-rabies vaccination is a reasonable precaution.
Regarding the vaccine dose, the effectiveness depends on the route and schedule used. For intramuscular rabies vaccination, some brands are administered as 0.5 mL per dose, while others are 1.0 mL per dose, depending on the vaccine formulation. Therefore, a 0.5 mL dose is not necessarily inadequate.
The important point is to continue the remaining doses as advised by your treating doctor and ensure the schedule is completed. If there was no confirmed bite/scratch and the wound was only a minor superficial mark, rabies immunoglobulin is generally not required.
Please keep following up with the same doctor who can verify the vaccine brand and confirm that the schedule is being administered correctly.

Always safe to take full course of vaccination if the dog is a street dog. Full dose is required. Extra dose will not cause any harm.
