Bitten by cattle on hand vaccination?
While feeding stray cattle through hands, a semi adult cow calf, I got a teeth bite on top of my hand which punctured my skin and 2,3 drop of blood drained. Do I need to get rabies vaccination done? If yes it's already 48 hours gone should I get one and will it be effective still.

Generally rabies virus does not spread by bite of cow
But technically virus can be transmitted through bite of an animal and if the calf or cow is rabid already.
