I have been bitten slight by my puppy.

2017-02-22 04:17:01
It's a pet and Labrador.yesterday night it bit me and Blood came out. It's a smaller wound (like a nail size of human). It's 2-3m old and we have vaccinated it once. I have been vaccinated against rabies 5-6 years back. I am worried that I will catch rabies. Pls help me in this asap. Do I need to take anti rabies shots again? What should I do?

Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You just need to take one shot of anti rabies vaccine as a booster dose. Your puppy is most likely not infected with rabies so you will be fine. But just as a precaution take a booster dose. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore
