Dog bite on cheek

2018-12-16 16:01:49
I have had a dog bite on my cheek this morning. The owner says that dog is vaccinated. I have not had titnes injection in the past 6 months and never had dog bite and thus it's injections till now. Should I be getting both and from where because I asked for the same in many clinic but didn't find an answer.
