Nakagat ako ng aso last January 3, 2014 unang araw lang ako natusukan ng anti-rabies vaccine at anti tetanu. Ok naman ang aso buhay pa hanggang ngayon. Gusto ko sana makompleto yung injection para sa anti-rabies kaya lang sabi dun sa center hindi na daw kailangan dahil buhay naman ang aso. Hindi kasi ako mapakali :( Any suggestion pls.



Topic: I was bitten by a dog last January 3, 2014, and it was the first time that I was injected anti rabies and anti tetanus vaccine. The dog is still ok and alive. I would like to complete the injection for anti-rabies, but the center told me that I don't have to because the dog is alive. But I'm worried. Is this ok?
