I got bitten by a rat about a week ago and went to see a doctor. He gave me a tetanus shot but said I didn't need the anti-rabies injection. I'm anxious about not getting those rabies shots. Is that normal, or did I miss out on something important?

If your doctor has assessed your rat bite and determined that you do not require an anti-rabies injection, then you should be fine. However, it is important to monitor the bite wound for any signs of infection or unusual symptoms. In case you experience any redness, swelling, pain, or discharge from the wound, please consult your doctor immediately.
