BITTEN BY MY 2 MONTH OLD PUPPY
I've been bitten by my 2 month old puppy and has already underwent my Anti-Rabies shots until day 7 (through an intradermal route). However, before I received my 3rd shot (or day 7 shot), my puppy licked my finger -which I later found out has a small cut. Do I need to get a booster for this or is my last ARV enough?
PS. My puppy seems fine

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
No you don't need to get any other extra shot.
You just need to take the course as you were taking that's it.
After that one booster dose every 5 years.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
He will be able to help you further.
Best regards.
