Answer 1

A person receiving the Rabies Vaccine in the gluteal region is likely to be partially protected. He has come for the 5th Dose means after 28 days of the dog bite. If the status of the dog is not known, it would be better to give two more doses of the Rabies Vaccine - one after 3 days and the second after 7 days.
