My neighbor's pet dog bite me yesterday, but he is fully vaccinated and the bite was also minor, i.e just a scratch. Is in necessary for me to take anti rabies injections? I already took the Tetanus injection, also the dog has bitten his owner like twice, still he didn't take any medicine and is ok. Thank you.
