Do I Need To See A Doctor?

My dog bit the side of my knee by accident .
No blood but small tear of skin.
I used hydrogen peroxide and an over the counter triple antibiotic gel.
The dog is up to date on all shots but I don't know if or when I ever has a tetanus shot.
Do I need to see a Dr.?
Thanks.

Hello
As your dog got all anti rabies vaccination ,so in that sense , you are not supposed to take any anti rabies vaccine . While take a tetanus shot on the deltoid muscle by your nearby pharmacist . No need of any consultation with a doctor , according to your query.
Good luck.
