Do I Need To Take Vaccine After Dog Bite During Pregnancy?
I was bitten by the puppy of my older sister, but the puppy was vaccinated in the morning and by the evening that puppy bit my toe. Is it still possible that i will be transmitted by a rabies? An anti-rabies was shot to the dog that morning. I am 5 months old pregnant as of now...

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
yes vaccine is needed if you do not know the immunity status of the dog and you cannot watch it for next 10 days.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
