Dog bite by stray dog

2017-08-18 11:49:49
Yesterday while on evening walk, a stray dog attacked me from behind without any provocation. It happened so fast , I am not sure if I was bit. I went to a doctor and he says that as no bleeding has happened , I do not need vaccination. Can / should I anyway take vaccination as a precaution.
