I live in Toronto, Canada. Homeless looking guy with a pitbull bit my hand and it's infected. I'm on an IV antibiotics program where I have to go in daily for the treatment. Initially a doctor was to order rabies vaccine from the public health board, however the ER doctor said that I don't need to have it, as there has been no rabies cases with dogs in the Toronto area over since the 70s. He also said being that the dog was on a leash, chances are the dog does not have rabies or it would have been running rabid. So he recommended not to get it as the risk/reward isn't worth the side effects.
What should I do?
