A member asked:
I was bitten by a dog 2 year ago, but not vaccinated. am i still in risk of rabies? what should i do now?

Low odds: Rare case of rabies developed even after 6 years of exposure. In case you were bitten by a suspicious dog, especially an unprovoked attack, rabies vaccination would be appropriate.
