Dog bite about 20 hours ago
I had a minor dog bite last night. I spoke to the dog owner and he said the dog is vaccinated but get yourself checked just as a precaution. What should I do ? The wound was very minor and hardly a drop of blood came out. The wound is almost healed now. Should I get myself vaccinated ?

Get tetanus toxoid injection first if not injected in past 5 years. Since the dog is vaccinated and free from rabies then no need to get vaccine done. For more information about this you can take consultation and discuss it with me
