I think I got bitten by a dog.

2018-05-16 19:27:20
I was offering a treat to a stray dog and it snatched at it, which caused its teeth to strike against the skin near the bed of my fingernail rather harshly. It did not start to bleed immediately. I saw a few droplets of blood seeping through and washed it with soap immediately, and applied antiseptic. Do I need to take further action like getting a vaccination?
