Patient's Query
Myself Rohan, I got vaccinated 20 days ago of anti rabies vaccine of 4 doses . Today I got scratch a little caused by a cat leading to bleed a little bit.. I need a clarification.. should i do again vaccinated. Thank you so much
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
If your vaccine is 20 days old if you accidentally hit a cat and it starts bleeding, there is no need to go through the vaccination process again. The vaccine that you took ought to have defended you from rabies. You have to clean the surface of the cut with soap and water, then apply a bandage on it and check if it is red, swollen, or has a hot sensation. If you experience any unexpected symptoms, make sure to call your doctor.
