I had completed the vaccination course in October 2025 from govt hospital Intradermal. One months ago, for a cat scratch, I received two vaccine doses (ID) on 10/05/2026 and 13/05/2026. Recently 10 days ago , I got a minor scratch from a 2-month-old puppy that did not bleed. The puppy's condition is not good. Should I take the vaccine again?"

Hi,
Proper evaluation and personalised advice are needed for your concern. A detailed consultation would be best to provide accurate guidance.
Feel free to consult me for further assistance.
According to WHO and National Guidelines on Rabies Prophylaxis, individuals who have documented proof of completing a primary course or a recent re-exposure booster series within the last 3 months are considered fully protected against new exposures.
Since you received a documented 2-dose intradermal booster series just over a month ago no need of further vaccination.
Next Steps
Clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water
Observe the puppy for next 14days
Need few more details for proper understanding of your issue.
