How Can A Cat Scratch Be Treated?
My son was scratched by a cat last year and had him vaccinated. My cousin told me that the vaccine is still effective for 3years though im not sure about that. My son got scratched a little by a cat today and i m wondering if i should take him to the clinic to be vaccinated or is he still safe from rabbies he just had one last year? Hoping for advice. Thanks.

Hello,
No need to take the vaccine again.
One compete course will provide protection for five years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
