No Immediate Booster Needed: "As per standard protocol, no further vaccine shots or Rabies Immunoglobulins (RIG) are required for this minor incident, given your very recent vaccination history." ​Wound Care: "You have already done the right thing by washing it thoroughly and applying Betadine. Continue to keep the area clean. It should heal like a normal minor cut." ​ "For a formal clinical review of your previous vaccination certificate and to discuss a long-term safety plan, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."

The 3-Month Rule: "Usually, for any new exposure within 3 months of a completed course, only wound cleaning is sufficient. Boosters are typically only considered after 3-6 months depending on the severity of the bite." ​Cat Observation: "If the street cat is accessible, just keep an eye on it for 10 days. If it stays healthy, it further confirms there was zero risk." ​Anxiety Management: "It is normal to feel anxious after an animal encounter, but scientifically, you are in the safest possible window right now."

Just wash the wound properly daily and keep applying betadine ointment.
