I was bitten by a pet dog last night and my hand broke and bled; do I must get the vaccine?
If an unfamiliar dog bit you and broke skin with bleeding, get the first rabies shot and watch the dog 10 days; if it is fine, later shots may be skipped. If the dog is vaccinated and indoors, risk is low, but rabies is near 100% fatal, so decide carefully. Wash the wound with water then soap for 15 to 20 minutes and iodine.
