See itz not like this actually 14 days is the watch period to see if the dog that has bitten you is showing signs of rabies dog or not but in the meanwhile it is expected that you take a tetanus and anti rabies shot within 24 hours of bite plus clean the bite wound with clean water and detergent soap coz human life is more precious. Rest you can talk to your physician for further details.
