Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If you were bitten by your dog 7 years ago and following which you have not taken any vaccine for that. As the dog as not developed any symptoms of rabies, definitely it suggests that you have not acquired the rabies virus from that dog. As many years are gone by for the previous dog bite there is no point in taking the antirabies vaccine. I would suggest you to take three doses of antirabies vaccine as a pre exposure prophylaxis (PEP) on days 0,7 and 28. This will protect you for future risk of exposure to the animal bite and this will avoid the use of rabies immunoglobulin in the future. Thank you.
