You should get first 3 doses of rabies vaccine.
.
Next Steps
Watch the puppy for 10 days from the date of bite. If puppy is ok then you do not need any further vaccine. If for any reason you are not able to watch the puppy for this duration you should receive 2 more vaccine ie. total 5 injections in 4 weeks.
Health Tips
Don't forget to get the puppy vaccinated
In case of any animal bite the wound should be immediately cleaned with a lot of soap and water.
Nothing should be applied on the wound except antiseptic ointment.
