Hi im edgar petallo from the philippines.The teeth of the puppy penetrate on my skin when i gave that puppy his food..i got a very tiny wound, however i consulted immediately the physician and he gave a series of 5 shots of verorab( anti-rabies vaccine ).==THAT WAS 3 YEARS AGO..(2006)
Now my problem is,.Last night( July 9, 2009) i got a single non-bleeding scratched just below my antecubetal fossa, made by the nail of my 2 month old puppy which is not immunized..
My question is: do i need another shot or booster dose of anti-rabies vaccine? Would that vaccination i had 3 years ago, protect me from rabies?
==I had this scratch just last night( July 9, 2009) now is JULY 10, 2009..The puppy is still under observation..and he's still alive and kicking..
==Please help me..
