Rabies vaccination
A stray cat in a temple scratched me on the feet and I had 5 spots that bled.. it was a burning sensation on the feet.. I’m not too sure if it was a scratch or bite. After about 40 hours, I had my TT shot and first dose of anti rabies vaccine. Will it be effective? Have a 5 month old baby who is exclusively breastfed.
Kindly share your views on effectiveness of vaccine as well any impact on the baby.
