Suspect rabies exposure
Sir/Ma'am
I suspect exposure from body tissue of a goat bitten by dog i am not sure about getting it into my mouth but it touched my lips.
so i got to the hospital they told me you can get vaccinated within 72 hours hospital pharmacy is closed now. But i didnt took risk and got vaccinated after 34 hours of suspected exposure
I attached that vaccine image i only got that now
am i safe getting 1 dose within 36 hours
doctors was saying no problem you can get it free after 2 days after exposure but i paid for it outside of hospital for a safe side

You should read up about spread of Rabies.
You said that you had exposure from body tissues of a goat who had been bitten by a dog. Do you eat raw meat or cooked meat ?
Do you have any idea how the Rabies virus is spread .
It will be much better if you seek consultation with a General Physician on Practo. All your doubts will be cleared.
