Hello there. I can understand your concern. If you haven't already got vaccinated in the past you do need medical attention. You need both post exposure prophylaxis and vaccination. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
