I feed a stray dog, about a year and half old. Today he accidently brushed his tooth against my finger and my skin broke (size of a dot).
I got rabies shots in 2012.
What do i do now?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You need to do nothing.
Just take a booster dose of the vaccine.
It's not necessary that the dog would be having rabies.
It's just for future safety I'm telling.
Take care of the wound.
Best regards.
