A dog bit me on my leg on calf. It was not a deep wound just 2-3 drops of blood. I went to a physician and he injected me with tetanus and first dose of anti-rabies injection. I searched on internet about another vaccine named rabies immunoglobulin which is given on the very first day but he did not tell anything about it. I have already taken two doses of the anti-rabies vaccine but now I am worried as I did not get injected with the rabies immunoglobulin. Should I be worried about it? Please help.
