I got scratched by a stray dog's nails and my doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but he still recommended I take three doses of the Verorab IM vaccine on days 0, 3, and 7. I've already finished them, but I'm concerned because I read that the usual anti-rabies treatment involves five doses on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Do you think I should get the additional doses on days 14 and 28, or are the three enough?
