Bitten by a dog

2017-04-18 14:48:53
I was sitting in the floor, watching tv. Our pet puppy went to my back and bite me with my shirt on. I took off my shirt and ask my sister to look at my back. She noticed two red marks. One like a period and one like an underscore. I had my post vaccination for rabies last October. I had three shots. Am I still safe? Please help me. Please reply as soon as possible.

From your question, you seem safe. Having taken pre exposure prophylaxis doses 0,3 and 7 days you have nothing to worry about. Since you are 13 years old, please ask your parents regarding the TT booster dose at 10 years. If that was missed, I would advice you an injection TT for a loval hospital.
