If the bullâs tail caused a break in the skin, wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for 15 minutes and apply antiseptic. Rabies risk from cattle is uncommon, but any mammal exposure needs an urgent anti-rabies clinic assessment; previous vaccination does not automatically remove the need for boosters. Please also check tetanus status and carry the vaccine record. You may book a Practo consult, but do not delay same-day wound review.
Next Steps
Please visit an anti-rabies clinic today with the vaccine record for wound assessment, booster advice and tetanus review. Book a Practo consult or see me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital Miraj; do not delay care.

Yes if you’ve got cut/ scratch/ if bull’s saliva contact with your broken skin/ cut mark
It is better if you take vaccine as a precaution
If bull’s tail just contact with your intact skin then no need for vaccination
And about tt you already took it just before one year so no need for tt injection
