I got bit by someone elses dog!the dog had a rabies vaccine though the bite bled alot.now it feels tingly.should i worry?

Dog bite: Rabies unlikely as dog has been vaccinated. However dog bite can end up with other infections. Thorough cleaning of wound and observation for signs of infection is key. If bite is deep or dirty you may need a tetanus booster or shot.
