Hi San Deep,
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the dog bite.
Since you have been already immunized against rabies in April 2011, what you need now is take two doses of Inj Anti rabies vaccine on the following days 0 and 3 as the mandatory booster shots.
Beside you must have thorough cleaning of the wounds and Inj Tetanus toxoid booster dose if nor immunized in April 2011.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
