Do i need to take a shot if i were bitten by a dog?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If you haven't had a tetanus shot within the last ten years or don't know when your last one was - then you would need this. If you were in a situation that presents a high risk for rabies then rabies shots could be a consideration as well.
