is unlikely that spilling 4–5 drops of your anti-rabies vaccine (0.5 ml dose) will significantly reduce its effectiveness. Modern rabies vaccines contain a higher IU (International Units) than the minimum required for immunity, so a small loss during injection usually does not compromise protection.
