Rabies vaccine
I was recently bitten by a dog. Bit was minor but drop of blood came out. I went to hospital and since it was Raksha bandhan only staf was there. I have following questions please help. I am panicking.
1)My 0 day vaccination was on Gluteal region. Is it effective there. WHO recommends on deltoid muscle. Should i start my regime again . It has been just 24 hours
2) No TT injection was given to me. Should i go again and ask for TT shot? Still less than 48 hours have passed.
3) Vaccine recommended was Thrabis vaccine which is 3 does vaccine. Read about it online it is newly launched. Is it safe or should i got and start again with new vaccine in deltoid region ?
Please help i am panicking.

Rabies vaccine is needed . Was it a stray dog or pet ?
But not in the gluteal region -it’s not valid
Deltoid muscle or anteriolateral part of thigh(outer side of the thigh)
So please repeat your vaccine and TT vaccine can be put too.
I hope u have washed the wound with soap and water immediately. Please connect on Practo if you have any further doubts ..

Kindly consult instantly and get all your doubts cleared. You will need TT injection, gluteal is safe, and that vaccine is safe. But schedule will have to be changed.
