Cat bit hand

2017-07-25 15:35:30
A stray cat bit my hand maybe two weeks ago or more agoThe cat has been healthy I didn't get the vaccine because the wound healed quickly and there was no pain but lately I have gotten some chills and I have headaches (but I am also allgeric to Pollen so that could be the cause of the headaches). Should I still get the rabies shot or is it to late?
