Rabies Shot after again bitten by a cat
4 months ago on March,I got myself vaccinated for rabies as my dog bite me...i had 3 shots of rabies on march.
Yesterday after 4 months (july) ,a stray can bit me again and it was a deep puncture through skin. The cat was also looking somewhat sick.
Now I am confused wheather i have to take rabies shots again or not because just 4 months ago I already had them
Do I again need rabies shots for this?
