Brief Answer:
Post exposure prophylaxis necessary...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Dog bites are classified based on severity of bite. Assuming the bite was not very deep, the type of bite you had may be classified as type two and it warrants rabies vaccination.
Therefore yes, it is also important to take rabipur injection in this case. So please visit the doctor and consider rabipur infection.
But yes, if the dog that bite you has been vaccinated, there is no need for this post exposure injections.
Hope I am clear. Let me know if you need clarifications.
