Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease which is also transmitted by bite of the monkey, it is a 100% fatal disease, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were bitten by a 4-month-old puppy while playing with the puppy which has led to small amount of bleeding from the site of bite, according to WHO categorizes it has been categorized into Cat III. As you have vaccinated the puppy after it had bitten you, following measures should be followed. Cat III requires both active and passive immunization. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The passive immunization with rabies immunoglobulins should be given in and around the bite site as early as possible. You need to take a shot of tetanus injection. The aforementioned treatment will protect you against developing the disease rabies. Thank you.
