Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Rabies is 100% fatal but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment.
As you were bit by a puupy following which you have received one dose of antirabies vaccine and rabies immunoglobulin following the death of the puupy.
If you have not taken the remaining doses of antirabies vaccine, i would suggest you to take all the five doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.
If you have taken the active and passive immunization properly on schedule chance of getting the disease will be very very less.
Thank you.
