I have a vaccination question.

We will be in India for 4 months. We are exploring getting a preventative 3-dose (1 - 7 - 28) set of vaccines for rabies in India. We have been told to source a reputable medical facility with international grade vaccines, and that it should be possible to receive the each dose in a different location (as international grade serums are interchangeable).

Any recommendations on WHERE to get these vaccinations? (1 in Delhi, 1 in Agra, and likely 1 in Varanasi)

Any recommended medical facilities?

Thank you in advance!

Ellen
