Is tetanus required before rabies?

2023-05-22 08:31:53
I took anti rabies today without taking a tetanus shot before the vaccine as I have taken tetanus ten days prior to today. I got a few minor scratches from my cat, so i decided to take the rabies shot series. But I did not take a tetanus shot before the vaccine. Is this a problem?
