The answer depends on the risk factors for exposure and how long the vaccine to be used provides protection against the disease. Some vaccines are effective for a year while others are effective for 3 years.

Do you need to have rabies vaccine if you were got bit by a dog?

If the dog that bit you cannot be located for observation or testing, post exposure shots should be given. Contact your doctor. They will notify the Department of State Health Services that the shots are required. If the dog can be located and observed it will quarantined for 10 days from the time of the bite. If the dog is alive and well at the end of the observation time there is no need for the shots. If the dog becomes ill or dies during the observation period, it will be tested to see if the illness or death was caused by rabies. If the test is negative, no shots. If rabies is detected you will need the shots.
