Should Anti Rabies Vaccination Be Taken After Dog Bite?
I.had been recently bittenby a puppy, there's no wound at all. Do I need to be vaccinated for tetanus or anti rabies? I dont know how to classify my dog bite but 2 years ago, I was also bitten by another dog and have myself vaccinated so what should I do?

Hi,
You have to go for tetanus toxoid and ARV shots even there is no apparent bite mark or cut as infection can spread through lymphatics under skin.
Even if you had vaccinated before 2 years, this time you require vaccination.
Ok and take care.
