Do i need anti rabies shots again?
Hi, so in May 2022 i got bit by a stray dog, i had all the doses of anti rabies shots, even a booster shot along with immunoglobulin.
24 days ago, i got bit by a stray dog again, so i took tetanus injection and three doses of anti rabies shots.
Yesterday, my aunt's pet cat kinda scratched me on my nose, and i had little blood.
I was wondering if i need to take the shots again? (As I've already taken the shots approx 20 days ago)
Kindly let me know, thanks.
