Question

I'm really worried because my pet dog bit my hand today and it's bleeding. I got three doses of the vaccine about eight months ago and then got another dose just two days before this happened. That makes it a total of five doses I've had so far. Do you think I should get vaccinated again?

Yes you have to take one more booster dose 14 days after exposure.
