Welcome to Health care magic.
I understand your concern,but i need to tell you that if there is no scratch or bite by cat then there is no need for repeat of rabies vaccination.
5 doses gives you protection for 5 years with booster doses eyery 2 years to maintain protective level of anitbodies.
Hope i answered all your queries.
Thanks and regards.
