Dog lick 24 hours back.
I was licked by a beagle dog on my right foot . Dog got it's 2nd rabies dose vaccine 15 days ago. I had few mosquito bite bumps (that won't give any burning sensation on treatment with disinfectants or sanitizers ) on the site of lick. I'm worried for rabies and other infections so I took Anti Rabies Vaccine this morning, after 15 hours of lick time. I will continue the next 4 doses of vaccine. I'm still worried. Do I need to take Anti Rabies Immunoglobulin treatment ? If so , what is the maximum time by which I should under go HRIG treatment.
I was licked 24hours back and I was never vaccinated before for rabies.
