Confused about tetanus vaccination.
Last evening got a minor bite from my pet dog. The dog is regular on all her vaccinations. Still do I need to get injection for tetanus?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
No you don't require TT , nor do you require anti-rabies vaccination for bites from this dog.
But it's always better to be safe and vaccinated to be safe because not all dogs will be vaccinated.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
