Rabies PEP
Sunday while walking around at night in India I came into contact with stray dogs. They were friendly & normal-looking. I might have been licked by one of them. I checked the day after and had no open wounds in the areas that could have been licked, only one scabbed-over small wound (rubbing alcohol didn't hurt). Should I still get rabies vaccine?
