Today I had a dog puppy bite, which is not vaccinated. However I had series of injections around 9 years ago for dog bite. Do I need to get vaccinated again.

Hello. Immediate measure: wash the wound in the running water completely. Don't use any antiseptics over the bite wound, inj. Tt to be taken. Definitely ,complete anti rabies vaccine should be repeated, given 0,7,28 days and if needed 90 days in any gh or phc, observe the dog for the next 10 days, if dog died, inform the local public health personnel like medical officer gphc or health inspectors. If possible vaccinate the dog for rabies in nearby vetinery hospital. I hope this helps. Have a nice day. Thank you.
