Should Rabies Vaccination Be Taken When Touched By A Dog With Rabies?
Do I have to take anti rabies vaccine if a Dog had touched me with his paws..?
It happened yesterday evening at around 7pm.. There was no scratch mark, no bleeding; nothing..He just touched..
The dog is a stray dog..but was healthy..according to the owner of a meat shop the dog used to do this to all the customers as he tries to look for their attention..
after coming back, I washed the area with soap and water after 15-20 minutes..
I took the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine at 11pm today(28-29hrs after exposure).. Sir, I am a bit anxious..Please guide me..
