Small bite/ scratch by the pet dog

2020-06-29 07:14:28
Hi, my dog is fully vaccinated in feb and we get it annually. It has bitten in the thumb of my brother not a deep cut. He took a tetnus shot. Should he go for rabies vaccination also ? Please advice. I was also bitten last year and everybody told me its not needed but anyhow i took 3 vaccination out of 5 and a tt shot. Thanks in advance

If the dog is fully vaccinated (upto) then no need to take ARV.
