Rabies Vaccine

2025-03-25 10:29:00
My husband has taken two full doses till now for rabies vaccine due to 2 different accounts of possible exposure..one on 11 Jan 2024- 08 feb 2024 and the second on 11 Jan 2025 -8th feb 2025 and today on 25 mar he sensed a cat around his foot with no remembrance/visible marks of scratch or bite but it was close enough that it left lots of hair on trouser now we inspected the leg thoroughly yet doubtful if any of the red pigmentation or spider veins that we see on his feet could potentially be a superficial scratch so is there a need for 2 booster doses on day 0 and day 3 or this is not needed..if taken still what could be the harm
