Rabies (Dog scratch)
I was scratched (no wounds) by my dog last december 2017 and I immediately went to our health office and got a shot of anti-tetanus and I only got 4 doses of the vaccine.. i forgot the last dose.. its been a month since.. then my dog once again scratched me but this time it bleed.. is it too late for me to take the last dose or do I have to do it all again? The dog was not rabid, she got too excited and reached out to me. She wasn’t provoked either because I was only cleaning her place.
