Hello,
If the dog is vaccinated dont worry but since it has been just 12 hours since the bite., i suggest take antirabies post exposure vaccination- Rabipur or verorab.
it should be taken on day 0, 3, 7,14, 30th day all in deltoid region.
Rabies vaccination effect lasts for 2 - 5 years.
Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
