My 2 month old puppy bit me. He hasn't gotten any vaccines yet, is it dangerous?
I was carrying him and talking to him and he suddenly bit me in my face. My 2 month old puppy hasn't gotten any vaccines yet. He just turned two months old last Saturday. Is it dangerous? Thanks. My dog's breed is pug and dachshund mix.

No, it's not particularly dangerous. Rabies is the number 1 concern, but the probability your pug/dachshund mix has the disease is super low. Rabies is transmitted mainly by saliva/bites from infected animals such as dogs, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, etc.
There are other diseases that can be carried by your dog, but it's dependent on your location in the world.
If he punctured the skin, keep it clean to avoid infection.
In the meantime work on the biting behavior - socialize a ton and work on gentle play :) and start vaccines + parasite control.
