A member asked:
One years ago a dog died few days ago after bitten in my leg and due to lack of awareness i didn't vaccinated myself do i need to get vaccine now?

No longer a need: Assuming you are concerned about rabies or maybe tetanus, both diseases would have shown signs and symptoms shortly after the bite. Definitely keep up with your tetanus vaccine every 10 years but rabies is not an issue on year later.
