Should An Anti Rabies Shot Be Taken After Being Licked By A Stray Dog?
Hi doctor, Two months ago stray dog has licked me on my foot and I felt sudden pain in foot. I thought dog teeth would have stabbed me by mistake. So I had raipur injection . 3 shots with interval of 0 , 3 ,5. Now ,4 days ago, the stray dog has just placed his leg nail on my foot while I was walking. Do I need to take rabies vaccine again ?

No.first,this is not risky contact.second,you are still protected from the first vaccination so there is no need for any additional vaccine and you should not worry.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
