Is it okay to have five doses of rabies vaccine and only three?

No. A total of five shots of rabies vaccine refers to the five-shot method of inoculation against injuries, if only three shots are not allowed. The vaccination method is to be inoculated every day on the 0th, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day after being bitten or scratched by an animal, a total of 5 shots.
