Hello! Rabies infection is caused by rabies virus, transmitted by bite of a rabid dog. The incubation period of this infection is usually 1 to 3 months. WHO (world health organization) says it can range from 1 week to 1 year. Since 6 years have passed since the incident, you don't have to worry about possibility of infection and vaccination now. Moreover from what you said, it looks like you had a Class 1 bite. Meaning, mildest form of dog bite. Hope this has helped you:-)

No you don't need to worry at all. And there are 2 reasons for that
1.once you are vaccinated by rabies vaccine the antibody remains for around 3 months in your body.
2.most commonly the rabies infection is spread through saliva.
So don't you worry .keep continuing the dosage of vaccine as prescribed earlier.
