Query about rabies vaccine
Hi, yesterday morning (11 the march), when I was walking, one stray dog came near me and touched its nose to my hand. I washed my hand after 10 minutes with soap. It didn't lick or bite me. Also I did not have any wound on my hand previously. I didn't go to doctor as it had only touched its nose. Should I have taken rabies vaccine?? Is it late or can I take it tomorrow also(13th march)???
