Question
Hello doctor, doctor, I was bitten by a dog and am vaccinated. I was bitten by a dog on my way to the last injection, do I have to get another shot? That dog I'm following.

Hello, thank you for your question to Vinmec.
You still have to complete that last shot first and the doctor will see if your wound is clean or dirty and need a tetanus shot and monitor the dog to decide on the shot. Usually the first injection is enough, you have antibodies in your body and then only inject 2 more doses according to the 0-3 regimen, not again like the previous time
