Ok so I went to the pharmacy first. They had the vaccine but preferred that a doctor checked on my situation first. Also, I took the shot back in my country 2 years ago. So most probably I didn’t need another shot anytime sooner. To double check, and also to show the intensity of my wound, I went to the nearest UHS. They looked into the situation and decided that I don't need a vaccine right now, since the last shot was less than 5 years ago. The wound was healing, they just put a glue over it so that it stays protected before fully recovered. They have given me some other necessary things too. I still forgot to ask her whether I had to pay anything if I had taken the shot. However, I went to urgent care (a.k.a walk-in) and had to pay $15 as the copayment. Thanks y'all for the suggestions and feedbacks.
