6 month back i had rig and 5 shots of vaccination of rabies , now again i am bitten by puppy, do i need to again take rig with rabies shots, bite causes no wound and blood and how many shots do i need to take?

2 years: Protection lasts longer than 6 months. The current Rabies Vaccine series of 4 shots should give immunity for 2 years. Persons at high risk of animal bites should see a primary care doctor or infectious disease doctor to get the most current information and to plan when the next rabies vaccinations should be given.
