Do i need more anti rabies or tetanus ?
Yesterday my friend was riding bike and i was sitting on the back seat. Then i saw one dog at road and i always got anxiety whenever i see dogs . So I turned my face otherside . When bike pass through dog i felt some sensation on my leg I don't know if that's because of anxiety or dog teeth/nails touched my leg . Last year 2021 feb i took 5 normal anti rabies vaccine and 1 tetanus shot . In September 2021 i took 2 normal anti rabies dose for dog scratch . In jan 2022 i took TETANUS single shot for cut i got from steel/iron . So i want to know do i need more anti rabies vaccine or tetanus vaccine ?? Or my previous vaccine will still protect me ??
