Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Yesterday, my puppy bitten on my finger. The dog was vaccinated. Should I take injections?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your dog has been vaccinated, your dog is immune against rabies. So, you do not need rabies vaccination if your dog is immune to rabies.

Take tetanus toxoid (TT) injection if not taken.

Take care.

Thank you.
