Rabies danger

2017-02-17 04:53:52
I had been scratched by a stray dog 2 months back. Blood didn't came out. So, I took a tetanus injection and only 3 shots of antirabies vaccine. Is it OK to take only 3 shots after such an exposure? Or I must have taken 5 shots as compulsory? Do I need to worry?? Can the remaining 2 shots be taken now??
