Vaccine after 11 months of exposure
Anyone can take antirabies vaccine after 11 months of exposure? There was no dog bite and no blood came out. But may be a very little scratch from dog nail at finger of my feet.

U can take it as pre exposure prophylaxis to prevent future bite exposure but for 11 months back exposure there is no point taking it now since rabies incubation period may varies but usually it's 1 week to 2 months if u didn't develop symptoms of rabies now just leave it as for now u should be safe
Health Tips
And keep one thing in mind in future always take vaccine shots as early as possible bcoz in view of rabies even a nail scratch is enough to cause infection if the dog is not vaccinated
