Question

I've just been bitten by a cat, but luckily it didn't break the skin. There's just a small, light mark on my leg. I got a tetanus shot about three months ago, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do. Should I be worried or do anything specific now?

If there is exposure of deeper skin layers or blood you have to recieve complete dose of anti rabies vaccine,if not noneed to worry just wash it with soap and leave it,and with TT vaccine as you have revieved 3 months ago,no need to take for a minimum period of 3 years.
