Cat scratch during course for cat bite
I had a cat bite on 16 November. I got my first rabies shot on 17 November (within 24 hours of the bite). And I'm going to take the next three shots on 20 and 24 November and 15 December. However, I also got a cat scratch from the same cat on 19 November (i.e. two days after my first shot). Should the rabies course be restarted? The cat is a pet, 6 months old; she was vaccinated about two months back, in September. There was blood coming out from the site in both cases (left hand middle finger for the cat bite; right hand elbow region underside for the cat scratch)
