I think it's the first time u r keeping pet, it's completely normal that puppies bite and they too do it frequently, they have milk teeth, which falls around 4 to 6 months of age and permanent teeth grows, until then they bite u regularly, slowly the habit dissappear age the puppy ages...
Thank you.

No, you are not at risk. Not all dogs have rabies infection. Puppies usually have material immunity, so the puppy whose mother is already vaccinated is safe. On top of it, you are also taking vaccination. Hence, you are also safe.

You are not at Risk of Rabies.. parents are vaccinated and if puppy is healthy and you have taken ARV shots ,So you are already protected from all sides..No need to worry..

No there is no risk after vaccination, puppies during teething stage tend to bite a lot. This is just playful.
You and your family are totally safe and with time your pup will learn to not bite
