Tetnus or Rabies shot

2021-01-02 07:29:39
My dog today bit me, the wound is really shallow but it bled. I quickly cleaned it with soap and water. I had my last tetnus shot in 2018 and my dog had his last anti rabies shot in 2019. Should i get tetnus or rabies shot for this? Please help.

You need both TT injection and Rabies vaccination. Pet dog needs to vaccinated every 6 months.
