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.

A cat scratch is considered to be Class II animal bite. Anti Rabies vaccine is required for Class II animal bite as per standard protocol Your last vaccination is more than 3months ago. So You only need to take two Shots of ARV on Day 0 and Day 3
Health Tips
Do clean the area of scratch with mild soap and water and apply antiseptic.
