I got bitten by a dog about three years ago and didn't get an anti-rabies vaccine then or since. I'm really worried about the risk of rabies now. The dog was a pet, but I dont know if it was vaccinated. It bit the fingers on my right hand, and I haven't had any symptoms so far. Can I still get a vaccine for that old bite?
No, u don't need to do anything now. Rabies if it were to acquired from dog it will get into a person within a day to a week or two. Nothing to worry for now.
