Rabies reexposed on last vaccine
Hello Doctor,
I completed my full intradermal rabies vaccine course on 11th aug 2026. ( 0,3,7,28). I also previously took full course few months before.
But after completion of last rabies vaccine dose which was in 11th aug 2026, I reexposed again on the same day; like i stepped in a cat saliva which was wet and it was on my house floor. I had a crack on my leg toe big finger.
Should i take complete vaccine again ? Or booster or what step should i take?
Please answer. I am in tensed.
