In a previously immunized person, 2 doses of Rabies vaccination are still recommended in Cat 3 treatment, On day 1 and 3 respectively.
Since the bite was on 15 th Aug, there is no need for vaccination now.
However, if the dog was stray, kindly keep a watch to see if its ill or biting other people without provocation, for atleast 10 days.
If it was a pet and vaccinated dog, you need not worry.
Next Steps
For now, nothing needs to be done.
