Q: are all 5 consecutive shots of rabies ip vaccine same? or they are diffrent. and can i change to another type of vaccine or to another brand in mid of vaccination?

: This is unclear. Generally speaking, should stay with same type of any vaccine series, and definitely discuss with the physician who diagnosed and started the series. A pharmacist could also help you with locating information on your current type and if there is an alternative type available and if changes are possible.
