Do I Need To Take Anti-rabies Again If Previously Vaccinated?
Got bitten by Cat 3 months (Mar 20) ago on my hand...got vaccinated with rabies immunoglobulin and a series of scheduled shots. Last July 10, the same cat bit me again in the face...I washed it with soap and water and applied antibacterial ointment...do i need to get another set of shots? Thanks :)
Thanks for posting you query to health care magic. There are different vaccines are avialble in market based on diffterent method of preparation but in your case you had vaccination 3 month back so no need to take complete vaccination if previously taken completely i.e. 5 doses. but as cat bite on face so take booster vaccination in form of single shot of vaccine . hope you are satisfied with my answer . feel free to communicate if any query . regards, Dr.Manish Purohit Infectious disease specialist
