Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Has you have bitten by pet dog,3 doses of antirabies vaccine is enough.You can go back for work.But you have to observe the dog for 10 days.If it develops the symptoms of rabies or change in its behaviour within this period,you need complete the full course.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
