I feed a stray dog, about a year and half old. Today he accidently brushed his tooth against my finger and my skin broke (size of a dot). I got rabies shots in 2012. What do i do now?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. You need to do nothing. Just take a booster dose of the vaccine. It's not necessary that the dog would be having rabies. It's just for future safety I'm telling. Take care of the wound. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
