  4. Pet dog bite. A tetnus or rabies shot?

Pet dog bite

2021-01-02 06:52:51
Today, my 3 year old labrador bit me on my hand. The wound is really shallow but it bled. I quickly washed the wound with soap. Now it has stopped bleeding. I had my last tetnus booster in 2018 and my dog had his last ARV in 2019. I'm a bit worried that do i need a tetnus or rabies shot? Please help!
