Possible rabies

2024-03-08 02:30:12
I got a cat scratch 11 days ago. There appeared no blood. My local doctor said I dont need rabies vaccine but I still argued and got started on 0-7-14 RABIES VACCINE (without RIG). But now I noticed there was a second scratch that was bleeding at the time (and I didn't get a chance to clean it with soap at the time of scratch). Also my doctor gave the 1st vaccine on my butt and I later read about rabies and it says never give the dose on butt. So should I change my doctor or start rig else where??? I'm worried I might catch rabies and it is too late... also should I switch from 3 doses to 5???
