I was bit by a dog, and I took all my post rabies shots but the 5th shot got delayed by two weeks, though I want to stay safe and got it but I wanna know what are the possibilities if the last shot gets delayed or not taken at all? (The dog is a pet dog, and owners said it was vaccinated 3 months before it bit me)

Dear lybrateuser, - You are not to worry, a delay of two weeks is not a problem as your body has already developed sufficient immunity against the virus before the fifth dose.
