Bit by a vaccinated dog what to do next?
I got bit by a pet dog who has all of its vaccination complete and up to date. The bite was on the mouth and it bled. I cleaned it up with betadine. Should i get the rabies vaccination?
After a few hours i also developed body ache and nausea, could it be related to the bite?

Your symptoms should not be after few hours of bite, it might be due to some other reason. But you should always go for anti rabies vaccination. Rabies has NO treatment once you gets symptoms by rabies virus. So don't be late get vaccinated. Contact to your MO of vaccination, but how much I know these life saving vaccine can be given in any condition.
Next Steps
