Cat Scratch

2022-05-18 06:43:09
Hi, Had a cat scratch 7 days back. Had a little bit of blood drawn like a pin head. Got my 3 doses of anti rabies vaccine. Immunoglobins not administered since very small scratch. 2 doses of rabivax and 1 dose of zoonovac since rabivax was not available. Can i stop the vaccine since the cat(stray) is doing fine after 10 days..
