Regarding rabbies vaccine

2025-04-22 16:56:08
Hi Doctor, I was scratched by an unvaccinated cat on 8th April and started the rabies vaccine course from 9th April. I've already taken doses on 9th, 12th, and 16th April, and my last dose is scheduled for 7th June. However, the same cat scratched me again today (22nd April). The scratch is not very deep — I washed it thoroughly with soap and applied antiseptic. Do I need to take any additional vaccine dose or any other treatment for this new scratch, or should I just continue with the remaining dose as scheduled? Thank you!

Hi! Since you’re already undergoing the rabies vaccine course and the scratch is not deep, you likely don’t need an additional dose. You should continue with your remaining scheduled doses. However, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider or visit a local health facility for further evaluation to be sure, especially since the cat was unvaccinated. For consultation, connect with me on Practo for video consultations.
