Don't worry. Just finish the anti rabies vaccine as per the schedule.. It ll generate antibodies to fight rabies. And all dogbite are not fatal. Only if the dog is infected with rabies it's dangerous. And TT inj lasts for almost 5 yrs, so no need to take it everytime. Just relax.. Nothing is gonna happen.
