Your situation:
• First 3 doses → intradermal (ID)

Next Steps
• Complete remaining doses (if any) as per schedule
• No need to restart the full course
• Ensure:

There is absolutely no problem as all 4 doses are already taken. The route of administration doesn't make much of difference. So nothing to worry about
