Street dog scratched 1 year ago.
One street dog scratched me (by nails) an year ago, the wound was very minor.No bleeding.Just a very minor scratch.Then I ignored, but now I am very concerned.Shall I take vaccine now?Do vaccines work after this long period?
Is there any particular medical test I should go for which assures I am not infected?
Please advise.
