yes, you can.
I am in the middle of a rabies vaccination and I was freaking out about this because I went to a different state for my fourth, and I'm pretty sure I got the other vaccine as it was different colored. I was looking around and found this on the CDC.

on the bottom under Allergies they say that it is not ideal to switch but that it is not a problem.
Hope that helps.
That is a very good question. You can take one dose of vaccine for minor bite on distal part of extremity. You observe the dog for 8 days. If the dog survives and well, the further doses of vaccine may not be given.
Bite on the shoulder is serious problem. Your brain in very nearby. You need to give rabies immunoglobulin in this patient. The sixth dose of anti-rabies vaccine on day 90 is necessary. You may skip the immunoglobulin in case of leg bite.
You have human diploid cell vaccine, vero monkey cell vaccine and chicken embryo cell vaccine for immunization of rabies. For pre-exposure vaccination, you need to take vaccine on day 0, 7, 28, six months and then yearly or on day 0, 28, six moths and then yearly. For post-exposure vaccination, you go for 0, 3, 7, 14, 28, 90 days. If you want to continue the protection, then booster dose to be taken yearly.
The difference between a vaccine and a booster is the time it is given. A vaccine is primarily referred to as the first dose of a medicine to prevent disease. A booster is a dose given after the initial dose to strengthen the effect of the first dose.
Hylophobia - fear of forests
i will give the last dose of hepa vaccine to the new infant at the a af 6 months old.
Bite by wolf should be taken very seriously. The wound is bound to be of serious nature. You clean the wound with betadine scrub. You may call help from your surgical colleague to stop the bleeding. Rabies immunoglobulin is must in this case, though it is expensive. Rabies vaccine two does to be given on day zero. The one dose on day 3, 7, 14, 28 and day 90. The last dose can not be omitted, when you give immunoglobuin.
One dose of chickenpox vaccine is 80-85% effective. A second dose is now recommended to increase immunity.
It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.
The manufacturer of the high dose flu vaccine that is approved for use in the US is Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. They make the Fluzone High-Dose formulation of influenza vaccine.
No. There are many situations in which people get two series.
It is unlikely. Hepatitis A vaccine is a two-dose series.
