Greetings. Yes, please see a qualified dermatologist or a physician and they'll administer the vaccine to you. Also, you can take chemoprophylaxis treatment as advised by them as the vaccine may not suffice once thou have already been exposed to the virus. See a qualified dermatologist at the earliest. Warm regards
