In India, there have been many reports of failure of post-exposure prophylaxis, often due to administration, vaccine quality, and storage. One of the contributing factors is the gluteal administration of rabies vaccine. Here we discuss a case of a partially vaccinated child presenting on day 3 following a category 3 bite, with the first two doses administered intramuscularly in the gluteal region. This case highlights a conundrum faced by clinicians who often encounter partially vaccinated patients, which in this case was treated similarly to an unvaccinated case as the route of previous doses was gluteal.</p> <p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong><br>Lath V, Sirur FM, Ramya, Bharati OK.
