Dear ma'am, Any mammalian bite in Indian scenario is a potential hazard for spread of Rabies. I sincerely request you to take Rabies Immunoglobulin and 5 intramuscular doses of Antirabies vaccine over 1 month (0, 3, 7, 14, 28); if you were not previously immunised for rabies. Moreover, since you have already taken 2 doses of TT, you don't have to repeat it now. Wish you a speedy recovery. God bless.
Health Tips
For your information, Antirabies vaccine is very safe in Pregnancy. It has no maternal or fetal side-effects.
