Cat bite injection
My cat bit me again today. I was vaccinated with Abhayrab in the month of July(5 shots).
But my cat bit me again today i.e. on 19th November, 2017. Do i need to get vaccinated or should i just take a booster or is nothing required? Please advice. Thank you.

Dear patient
Has your cat been immunised?
Previously had you taken injection t.t and when? If it was taken in July no need to taken inj. T. T again.
You need to ideally take a booster and observe the cat for any sort of rabid symptoms ex- salivation, aggressive behaviour, intolerance to light and water etc. for the next week or so. if these symptoms are present take the 2nd and 3 rd dose as well. Or else only one booster should suffice ( because it’s your pet cat)
