I am a 21 year old girl, on 26th of march 2023, i was bitten by a dog and immediately rush to a nearby government hospital, where they provide me with two injections ane is of titneaus and other is of arv vaccine .and set a schedule of 0,3,7,28 days my question is they have given me the injection on my buttocks and not on my arms. As per who guideline one should give vaccine on the arms and never be on the buttocks region .so what should I do now revise my whole schedule or just put the other three vaccine on my arms. And also they have not given me the immunised serum even though I was bleeding very little at the time of exposure .so should I take the serum or not .and now what should I do please tell I am very afraid .i also noticed the behaviour of the dog he is doing fine but he is barking on the every other person. Please help what to do.
