[/INST] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were bitten by vaccinated dog following which you are having numbness in the bite site. Rabies is a disease transmitted by dog which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. You need to take vaccine on days 0, 3,7,14 and 28, if the dog is available for observation and not having any symptoms of rabies for 10 days you can discontinue the antirabies vaccine. The numbness is may be due to the pain caused by the bite and not because of the disease rabies. I would suggest you to consult your doctor for the shots of antirabies vaccine. Thank you. </s>
