Got bitten by stray dog few hours ago. Took rabies and tt vaccine. But I had not washed the wound for 15 minutes continuously. Will that be a problem? Also, should I take 3 or 5 doses of rabipur vaccine?

Doesn’t matter now that you hadn’t washed the wound. Do not worry The rabies and tetanus vaccine should take of it. A 5 dose course of inj. Rabipur is advised since it’s a stray dog. Please take the remainder of rabies injections on the given day without fail.
