1st it is essential to wash the wound with soap thoroughly and avoid any irritant to wash the wound.
2nd we don't know how effective the vaccine was on your pet dog, so based on the category of your wound ,better to consult with your doctor for rabies vaccine.

some times we might also consider giving other forms of rabies injection like immunoglobulin, so its better to consult your doctor for further management.
