I have bitten by my pet puppy 15 to 20 days ago. It is 2 months old. Not vaccinated. I have took my first shot after probably 20 days after. I wanted to ask is it still safe or not.

If the puppy is still alive then nothing to worry. Shots are extra protection so finish full course.

If the puppy is not vaccinated and bites someone, there was a risk of rabies transmission. However, if the puppy remains healthy for 10-14 days after the bite, the risk of rabies transmission decreases. The incubation period of rabies is typically 2-3 months, but it can range from 9 days to 1 year or more. Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) which includes immediate wound cleaning, vaccination, and sometimes rabies immunoglobulin, is highly effective in preventing rabies if administered promptly after exposure. Your Situation Timing of Vaccination- You received your first vaccination 20 days after the bite. Ideally, PEP should be started immediately after the bite. Puppy's Health-Since the puppy is 2 months old and not vaccinated, it's essential to monitor its health closely. Recommendations Complete Vaccination Series- Ensure you complete the full vaccination series as recommended by  doctor. Monitor Puppy's Health-  Keep a close eye on the puppy's health. If it shows any signs of illness or abnormal behavior, seek veterinary advice immediately. Precautions Wound Care- Ensure the wound is cleaned and cared for properly to prevent infection. Avoid Further Exposure-  Avoid further exposure to the puppy until it has been vaccinated and cleared by a veterinarian.
