I have been bitten slight by my puppy.
It's a pet and Labrador.yesterday night it bit me and Blood came out. It's a smaller wound (like a nail size of human). It's 2-3m old and we have vaccinated it once. I have been vaccinated against rabies 5-6 years back. I am worried that I will catch rabies. Pls help me in this asap. Do I need to take anti rabies shots again? What should I do?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You just need to take one shot of anti rabies vaccine as a booster dose.
Your puppy is most likely not infected with rabies so you will be fine.
But just as a precaution take a booster dose.
