<human>: Dear Doctor, Good day. Im 21 yrs. old, 5 2 and 110 lbs. my query is about anti rabies vaccine. I was bitten by a dog last May 14, 2011 and had anti tetanus and immonuglubulin and had 4 shots of anti rabies vaccine. my last schedule is Aug. 22, 2011. I was scratched by our cat yesterday and was bleeding. My question is do I need to have another anti rabies vaccine for the scratch of the cat? Please help me and thank you very much Doctor.
<bot>: HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. Yes it is necessary even for a cat bite. Now since you have been already vaccinated in 2011. In addition to wound cleansing & a booster dose of Tetanus toxic injection should take at least two doses of anti rabies vaccine in the deltoid region of the arm on 0 and 3 days. Hope this suggestion could be of help to you in getting the treatment at the hospital. Give your valuable feedback if convinced. Regards
