A 43-year-old male presented to the casualty department with a complaint of being bitten by a street dog on his left leg. On further inquiry, the patient reported a previous dog bite injury to his right index finger 1.2 years ago while feeding a street dog. The previous bite had resulted in oozing blood and required medical treatment at a nearby medical college and hospital. What steps should be taken in the current management plan?
