Since the dog has bitten you and the dog is a community dog with no known history of vaccination I advise u to get a post bite vaccination Also if possible plz monitor the dog for next 10 days if he is showing any symptoms of rabies

Since it is a stray dog, it is better for you to get post bite anti rabies vaccinations with your physician.
