I was bitten by a dog 5 years ago and didn't tell my parents. It was power outage and I went out to buy something and accidentally stepped over a dog in response he bit me. Should I get vaccinated now?

Hello sir, there is no need for a vaccine right now. But next time if a dog bites, start with vaccine on that day itself. Do not wait.
