[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Post-exposure treatment of dog bite consists of local treatment of the wound followed by vaccine therapy. As per WHO (World Health Organization) guidance, One dose (1ml of reconstituted) of the vaccine should be administered on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30. All intramuscular injections must be given into the deltoid region. In small child Chat Doctor.  Recommendations say vaccine should never be administered in the gluteal region (buttocks). Hope this information would be helpful.
