Can rabies occur after 5-6 yrs of bite

2019-05-08 10:52:52
Around 5-6 years ago i got a little bite from a puppy on my index finger. He just touched his tooth nd 2-3 blood came out of it after bite. Ny doctor didn't asked me to get any vaccination and instead of that he just gave me a tetanus shot. Are there still any chances to get infected or am i clear? I dont have any symptoms till now.
