Can rabies occur after 5-6 yrs of bite
Around 5-6 years ago i got a little bite from a puppy on my index finger. He just touched his tooth nd 2-3 blood came out of it after bite. Ny doctor didn't asked me to get any vaccination and instead of that he just gave me a tetanus shot. Are there still any chances to get infected or am i clear? I dont have any symptoms till now.

No chance,but its no harm in getting a prophylactic vaccination done to better be safe than sorry.
