Is It Dangerous To Be Bitten By Dog During Anti-rabies Vaccination?

Hi. I m still in the series of my anti-rabies vaccination but my unvaccinated dog bit me again. I washed the wound thoroughly right after. After a day or 2, my dog has become weak, has hairfall. My wound looks okay and I don t feel anything abnormal. Should I get another series of vac? This worries me a lot. My last shot will be on the 28th of July. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If you complete your vaccination course it will protect you from Rabies for 6 months.
Hence you need not take another series of vaccine.
Better take your last shot and be happy.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
