Antibiotic requirement ater dog bite

2018-02-24 08:21:25
I am bitten by our family dog and the wound is quite deep. I have immediately taken Rabipure vaccine and will be completing 3 doses as recommended. Our dog is vaccinated in Dec '17. Is there any requirement of antibiotic course besides the Rabipure and Titanus that I have already taken?
