Hello...
Did you see the Doctor after the Dog bit you.... or you yourself decided to wait n watch....
Usually the vaccine is useful when it is given on on Day1 of The bite......
May be the swelling is due to the mark being more deep than it appeared then.....
Please consult your Family Physician an take his advise.....the wound must be checked...
