The five-dose method of rabies vaccination cannot be done in just three doses; the full vaccination needs to be completed.
If the rabies vaccine is a five-dose vaccination, it is not possible to administer only three doses. There is a scientific basis for the five-shot vaccination method. Each time the vaccination is administered, the titer and number of antibodies in the body can be strengthened, and after the completion of the five shots, the predetermined preventive effect can be achieved.
If only three injections are given, and the number and titer of antibodies cannot be reached, the rabies virus cannot be prevented scientifically, and there is still a possibility of being infected by the rabies virus. Meanwhile, the duration of prevention will not reach half a year, and re-exposure within a short period of time will require a full five-dose inoculation.
To summarize, it is recommended to complete all five vaccinations.
