Question 1

Can you help me out with something? Last year, I got the full anti-rabies vaccine cycle and anti-tetanus shot because of a cat scratch. But last month, I ended up getting two booster shots after a kitten scratched me and I got bitten by a dog. Now, my cat bit me since I accidentally stepped on her tail and my wound started bleeding. Do you think I need another booster shot for this?

Since you had a recent cat bite and your wound bled, it is advisable to take another booster shot for rabies. You can take the Rabipur vaccine with a dosage of 1 mL on day 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28. Additionally, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management of your wound.

It's important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific scar.
