Cat scratch

2025-06-29 04:13:58
A cat has scratched me day before yesterday she stays in my home and just goes out for stool and urine. I have taken 3 rabies vaccine and tetanus shot in November 2024. I had taken 3 dose because previously I had taken 5 doses of rabies vaccine twice. Do I need to take vaccine anymore? It's just a scratch as her nails are too sharp.
