The chances of you getting Rabies depends on so many factors:
Were you bitten by an infected dog or by a dog who didn't carry Rabies virus?
How much was the viral load?
Was the bite close to your face or head or palms of the hands?
How soon after the bite did you wash that part with soap and water ?
What is your Rabies antibody titre?
Now you decide for yourself what are your chances of getting Rabies.
If chances are there then you may take a Course of Anti-Rabies vaccine (6 doses) even now .
Delayed vaccination also offers some protection.
