Nothing will happen. Anti rabies antibodies will eventually form even if given in intramuscular route. But intradermal route is the specific/potent/ effective in inducing a specific cell mediated immune response thus is the preferred route of administration. So, no need to repeat the dose but make sure the next dose is given intradermally.
