Hello there. I can understand your concern. If your pet is vaccinated then you don't have to be worried. But, it is always better to be vaccinated yourself. It would be best if you get yourself vaccinated. If the wound isn't healing only then you need medical attention. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
