Actually acoording to the intensity and extend of bite and injuries doctor will advice 3 dose or 5 doses of post bite rabies injection, after seeing ur bite injuries, since it's not multiple site injuries they thought 3 doses is enough, so they would have just gave 3 doses only...
Thank you

Currently, the post bite vaccination schedule is four doses. The last dose is on 28th day after 1st dose. If you are anywhere near that, you can get it now. If you crossed that, then you can request your physician regarding the last dose.
If they say that it is too late for last dose then you can do a small blood test called as "rabies antibody detection test " which will tell you whether the 3 dose has produced enough immunity for you. If the test values are good, then you are completely safe with 3 dose itself.
